i THE BALL AT LIVE '93

B

ntaln's blgg-L-. _,_ Lionsumcr electronics
show, Live 93, was staged at London's
Otympia on the 16-20th September. The
BKnt lasted for five days and was so popular that
mseiy people were turned away.

HuxJreds of exhibltoi's ensured' thgt the show
«BS a huge success, and r^one put on a more
impncscve showing than Commodore who were
DMHinQ ttte CD32 for all il was wortti.

Thaw stand occupied rngre space than any
other arej was immediately visible from anywhere
(n Ihe vast ar$na- TTie stand was a miKture o( dig-
ptay iOMTtt. banners, CD32 stands and various
Other bUts and botos. There were at least two
dozen CD32 consoles on display, some running
im:pres$fve-kx}f(lng demos oK upcoming titles,
wtiilst others were njnning games thai pe<>ple
could play. At the centre of the stancf was an
Alienesque robotic model and Commodore were
offering C032s to people who Could come up with
a name for the metallic wonder.

Tucked away at the back of the stand was a
row of A4000S demonstrating some of the
hottest new gear around. Andy Bishop from Blue
Ribbon was doing a very impressive demo of
fijrs and Pipes Fro 2, using a drum pad (o play
interactive ly over the lop of a music track he'd
recorded earlier. Every lime he started playing,
the crowds jusi flocked in from nowhere lo see
what was probably the liveliest demo at the
show. Beside him, Barry Thurston was demon-
strating Scala MM3O0, and although his demo
was less flashy, business users seemed
impressed by the power and simpHcity of the
program. Nest up, was a trio of graphics boards
being distributed by SDL. The first two were
standard 24-bil cards. The third board, an
MPEG card called Peggy, enables an A4000 to
replay MPEG standard 1 animation which was
receiving its European launch at the show,

The CD32 was also running with an MPEG
moduJe plugged in and Commodore's Sanjay
Majid was demonstrating the unit which was run-
ning a number of pop videos, complete with CD
audio tracks.

At one point during tho show a number o^
Apple's slaff came over to have a look at the
CD32. After taking a cursory glance at the
games that were running they declared the con-
sole lo be "nofhing special'. Then Sanjay showed
lliem the full molion video demo... their jaws just
dropped! Judging by other people's reactions et
the show the CD32 looks like its going to have a
bright future,

This month saw unprecedented movement in
the colour printer martlet with two new print-
ers being released and Hewlett Packard
slashing the prices of their entire rangg in a pre-
Ctiristmas strike at the opposition.

The first of the newcomers comes from Canon
in the form of the BJC600, a 360 DPI bubble jet
which was previewed al Live '93. At £599, the
printer is clearly targeting Hewlett Packard's
Deskjet 550C. The BJC&OO prints at up to 240
chgraclers per second and has perhaps the most
solid colour yet seen on a home colour printer.

In a definite step up for Star, they have pro-
duced the 3J1 44, another 360 DPI printer. This
time, it's a thermal transfer wax printer thai literally
m&lts wax-based ink onto the paper.

In an effort to divert attention from the new kids
on the b\o<^, Hewlett: Packard have reduced the
price of their own excellent Deskjet 550C by E 130
to a retail of £S39, which will probably translate into
a street price of well under ESOO.

For details phone Hewlett Packard on 0344
3692^2, Canon on 081 773 3173 and Star on

equivalent area in the user s field ol vision as a
60 inch screen viewed at 6-15 feet away.

The advantage of the system is tliat by low-
ering your eyes you can watch TV, raise them
and you're bact<, in the real world.

Virtual Vision say tha,t apart from being kJeal

light for the industry, With hindsight it makes you
winder why it tooK the UK so long to set up an
equivalent.

But it was worth the wait- Live '93 was an
urtqualified hit. At Olympiia ii was 'standing room
only', if you see what I mean, with over MD^OOO
paying visitors over five days. On ttie Sunday there
were 4S,000 and they closed Olympia'S doors for
the first time ever.

And I'm prtiud to report thai our stand was a
major attraclion. Obviously Amiga CD32 was the
reason why. Hawing watched the machine go irom
an idea 10 reality in less than a year, and then
ob&erving the huge pres$ interest, it wa& realty sat-
isfying for me personally to gauge the public's
reaction, 'Which was, needless to say, tremendous.
We've already hooked tor Live '94. See you there.
Another realljf pleasing as'ped of the show was
that ws had 40 machines running all day every day
and nol a problem with any o1 ttiem. The relatively
small numlwr of returns on AG A machines has
been one reason we've been able to maintain such
competrttve prices. Long may il continue .

On the subject, we're now using ICL as our
warranty agent. I've seen their set-up and 1 can
assure you it's hi-tech and very impressive.

So, maybe the CD revolution has truly begun
now. Sales certainty point to it. At the time of wfil-
ing we've sold out of our first shipment of 2S,000
machines - that's not even three weetts aifter
launch. And there are thousands more pre-orders
waiting to go. Get yours in now*

Software is starting to come through as
planned. The excellent pre-Christmas line-up
Includes some beauties-

— Ocean's TFX is a wondioas Hlght^rTT which" wtil'
thi breathtaking on CD, Zool 2 looks set to expand
on the brilliant ortginal, W^cracosm will realise
everybody's highest hopes of whal CD technology
can deliver and then there's discs lil^e Lotus
Turbo Trilogy - three classic games on one disc
at a sensible price, another obvious tienefit
introduced by the new medium.

Ttie games pubiishers are
right behind the

machine. In fact,
just lo ram Ihe
messajge
home,

we'll be running an ad in the Industry paper CTW
which lists all of its supporters. This advertising
kicks off a massiv? E7 million campaign which will
fun from mid- October.

It's our biggest ever campaign - more proof of
how serious we are aboul esiabishing Amiga
CD32 as the world's best-selting console. The TV
ad will be special effects laden and will feature a
learsome alien. As fearsome as the machine'?
You'll just have to wait.

It would be easy to forget the Amiga 1 200 m the
midst of so much Amiga CD32 activity. But we're
not going to do thai. In fad the Amiga 1200 is rac-
ing ahead, above all the targels we set for it- Sales
ha^ne been excellent since day one but since we
introduced Ihe £299,99 price tag in July they've
gone through the root.

in the summer 'quarter' we sold 46,000
machines. Fantastic figures which ever way you
look at them, but in the industry's quietest season
nothing (ess than remartoable. I'm really pleased -
and SOS my boss! We set an agenda when we
launched the Amiga 1 200 which was that the
machine woutd usher in an era of 32 -bit comput-
ing. We've achieved it. Less than a year later the
1 2Q0 is a market leader. Total sales are over
150,000,, And il's great to see so much of the
floppy Amiga software being released is AGA.

The software packaged with this year's
Christmas bundle Desktop Dynamite is a case in
point. We're delighted with it and the pundits have
been full of prais« as

well. We've put the emphasis on productivity by
including Digita Prim Manager, Digita Werdwor^
and, of course. Dehxs Psint iV (we'd be slaugh-
tered if that didn't go in). With Oscar and Def?ffisas
the games element I think we've come up with a
winner. In cash terms there's no argument - that's
over £300 Of software.

Desktop Dynamite will be the only way to buy
an Amiga 1 200 this Christmas, 1 think we may
have made the mistake of contusing Ihe users a lit-
tle in the past with toO' many cfioices (different
bundles, Btandabnes, bard drives, etc) so this
year our range will be limited to Desktop Dynamite,
Amiga CD32 and the two Amiga 4000s,

This suits the retailers too. And in the end it we
can help them then that meams wider availability
tor you the customer.

As I write a team of specially trained
Commodore merchandise reps will begin visiting
these stores. They will make 6,000 calls in the 12
weeks to Christmas, They 11 disiribute p-o-s and
help with the positioning and appearance ol dis-
play machines to 3,5€0 retail outlets indudlng
Comet, Rumbelows, Tandy. Future Zone, SWEB
shops. Bealties, John lewis Partnership, Ailders,
NASCR relaiters and computer independents.

It we can keep them all happy then you wont
need to walk too far to buy an Amiga!

Every year, the World of
Commodore Amiga Show
in Pasadena attracts
thousands of Amiga devo-
tees from all over the
globe. This year, the show
was especially packed as
hundreds of new products
were unveiled for the first
timei Don Hiclcs, our US
correspondent, fought his
way through the crowds
to bring you this exclu-
sive report.

TliB world's pfBinlef Ami)! thow wted a» a launcti pod tot

SPECIAL REPORT FROM PASADENA

The word for tlie Worid of Commodore Amiga
Pasadena (September 3-5) was hot With
tempeFatures above aS'^C in the Los Angeles
valley, local residlenls may tiave thought the
hottest thing going was the weather. But, in the
air-conditioned exhibition haii al the Pasadena
centre, Amiga deveiopers were announcing an
array of tiot new products Ihat put some reai sizzle
into the Amiga market. From CD33 to an Amiga
transputer, the developers' announcern^nts rede-
fined Amiga computing.

The free seminars are s major feature at
every WOCA. During the three-day event,
Commodore and other exhibitors ran a steady
assortment ot speal<ers and demonstrations.
Each keynote address and special presentation
was filled to capacity with many people being
turned away. According to one Commodore
executive, every seminar had at least 200 peo-
ple in attendance. Sessions included a
presentation of Brillisnce by tamed Amiga artisl
Jim Sachs, Fuii IVIotion Video pre$entations by
Commodore's Jeff Porter, as weii as product
demonstrations of Centaur's OpalVision, RGB's
AmiLinkCIP, Axiom's WaveMaker and Anim
Workshop, GVP's ImageFX by Warner
Brother* aoimalion director. GVP's CineMorph
Toaster 4000 and LightWave 3D, as weii as
Sunrize industries' Studiio 16.

Whiie CD32 was introduced to the UK in late
Juiy, Commodore used the Pasadena event to
present the Amiga CD32 to the North American
mafritet. In a press conference, heid ihe first day,
Jim Dionne, CBM ij. S. A. 's. president,
announced, 'We feel conilidertt it (CD32) will

become our next 64,' He went on to say that
20,000 CD32 units per week were beirtg produced
at Commodore's plant.

Lew Eggebrecht, Vice President o1 Engineering
for Commodore iniernational. announced that
there would be 75 CD32 titles available by
Christmas. 'One of the most important points is
that we were able lo gel this kind of support with-
out investing a single dime in the software
development- That, we think, is a very good
endorsement of ttie capability of the- (003-2) prod-
uct-' Eggebrecht announced further plans for the
Amiga CD32 line by stating CBM was planning
'...a CD peripheral for the 1200 and alao for the
4000 that will allow the software development of
CD32 to also play on our standard
home computer and ^ideo work-
station envinonmenls.' The
A4000 CD32 peripheral could be J
available as early as December
according to an unidentified
CBWl staff member..

Discussing the future of
Amiga support software,
Eggebrecht

M on to say thai GBM woijfd soon be 'r&leas-
lOOS' 3,1 which would support the same

t capabilities that were added to C032. In
words, «his will support SCSI capabilities for
CDs. also support file systems fof CDs, and also
mippOiX all of the libraries tl^at were special for
tit oame environin&rfl$.'

Commodore has apparently accepted the fact
; ihey cannot do everything. Eggebrscht enthu-
ilfy stated Commodore's offer lo assist
»*tJ-party developers in creating peripherals
naeded for A4000 and A1 200 machines. He staled
C8M was interested in licensing th&ir network
developments to ihird-party developers to create
new products.

Apparently, CD32 is already in demand by U.S,
Amiga users. A GBM exec was upset that he Only
had a few CD32 units for the show, Apparently, he
tad been offered as much as 51 ,000 for each
CD35 on dfspfay. However, since the U.S, market
l«s not received their allocation of the newly-
leteased Amiga garmes machine, the few CD32S
on disp-iay were all that were avaHaJbie and he
could not sell them.

made them aveilable on desktops of the television
creative community.' While this high praise is war-
ranted, maybe NewTek should have been in
Pasadena the week before when QVP. C«ntaur,
antf a new Amiga company. Warm aixf Fuzzy
Logic, all made significant inroads into &w Video
Toa$ter'$ markets.

^Q.

If this month's coverdisk had been
available in the Fifteenth century,
Leonardo DaVinci would have put away
his pencils for good. Expert Draw is the
ultimate drawing tool for artists and
desk top publishers alike.

E

xpertDraw is a structured draw-
ing program - it doesn't mess
around with bit-mapped
images ijke tl^e typpcal paini and
drawing programs. Witli ExpersDraw
you can build grapliics and re-siize
them without 'jaggies' or loss of qual-
ity. However, drawing witli tin is
program is not as straiglntforward as
it i& Willi oth&r graphic packages, but
wilh a little practice and patience
spectacular results can be obtained.

go Over to your paper and, with the
left mouse button held down
(LMBHD), draw a shape, Try drawing
a heart shape.

Wot easy is it?l Drawing accurately
with the mouse takes a lol of prac-
tice, Luckily, many drawings can be
hui-lt up from simple shapes.

y^ ilMow select the tool that looks
like a square with a box in
each comer. This is the
Select/Move points tool. Go over to
your 'heart* and with the pointer to
the top and left of ttie object drag out
a bois lo surround it.

This is done with LMBH'D during
the operation, Vou should now see a
number of points appear on the cir-
curtiferenee of your object. These
are the support points..

You can now pick any point and
move its position. The connecting
fines are adjusted so you could
attempt to tidy up the object. The
start point is shown larger than the
rest.

Select All will tiighiigtit all i he points

points that fall wilhin that rectangle
will be selected..

Cut operates like Copy, bul the
original is deleted from the drawing.

tive to each other or to ttie page. One
ot its uses is to centre text, so

Picking Wipe Dots will remove any

Poor old Magic Boy ts not

like making sure ihe monsters his
master >fias collected don't escape!
Luckily for Magic Boy this latest
accid&nt happens when Ihe mz-
ard's away. So, it's up to you lo
guide him as h& collects the
escapees across four levels of
Sand Land. Take care where you
(ump though 'cos not every plat-
(orm is safe - some disappear,
some fry Magic Boy and others are
so slippery he'll slide off the end
onto somethingi nasty, If ttiat
wasn't bad enough ttie wizard'll be
back soon so keep a aye on the
clock at the top of the scr-een.
To coilect the beasts you'll
need to stun them first. Use your
magic wand to fire a little magical

boH of energy, then run over the
mortSler before he wakes up.
They're autofnatically dropped inito
Magic Boy's bag, pull down artd
they disappear back into the cage
at tfie bottom of the screen. Don't
dally though or they'll escape
again,

Occasionally, a stunned beastie
will drop a bonus for you such as
three way fire and a special shot
which allows you to fire up.
They're usually reJeased at a rele-
vant point so put them lo good
use. If youVe got the time, take a
look around each level for the hid-
den warp that completes that

Those Team 1 7 Ixiys have
gone back ro basics with this
frighteningfy aditJiclive classic-
style platformer. Out on budget now,
Qwafr has no silly stOry, no false
hype and no frills -just one very
playable game. And we've secured
four levels of action for you. You can
even ask a mate to join in lor some
two-player simultaneous leaping!
The object is lo collect all the
keys on the screen in as short a
time as possible. To put a spoke in
your wheels there's all manner of
weird creatures just waiting to
pounce. Single contact with them
removes a layer of armour, multiple
contact means death, To keep them

the supply's limited. Vou can add to
your egg collection by picking up
the fruits scattered around the
screen, collect enough and you'll
get an egg- xagge rated bonus at the
end of the level. You might also
notice a few brown bottles here and
there, picit one up and have a glug
- you never know you might get an
egg-cellent power up for a short
while. Some potions will even turn
your eggs into Chocolate - these
are special weapons which kill bad-
dies immiediately. When a creature
dies it'll throw a sweet up into the
air. be quick and catch one for a
special bonus.

Computers have a habit of breaking down at the worst possible moment.
It's infuriating, but there^s nothing you can do about it, is there? Well,
actually there's plenty you can do to avoid your beloved Amiga letting
you down when you need it most. Once It has gone down, there are usu-
ally a number of options you can take before you call in the men in white
coats. Let CU AMIGA take you on a crash course in computer first aid.

There are a number of fiabits
you can get into that will h$'lp
kaep ycsur Amigia ticking over in
good liealth.

Dual covers are a very good idea.
Dust can creep up slowly twfore you
realise tliai it'$ even there, Dust
weaves its way into all the sensitive
nooks and crannies of yogir oonfi-
puter. Anyone living down-wind from
a talcum powder lactory, in a densely
poptJiaied house, witti lots of pets
and a tumble dryer,, should Keep their
mactiine covered at all times when
it's not in use,

Caljies and socKets wear out
very quiel<ly if the/Ye switched
around regularly. If you use a TV
witti your Amiga, it's worth investing
in a small switcher box. You can
then have both your TV aerial lead
and the output from your Amiga
permanently plugged into the txjx,
Wtien you want to change frorn one
to the other, all you need lo do is
throw the switch. This will stop you
having to continually pull at the TV
aerial socket, which wiil probabiy
give out very quickly.

Mouse problems are usually due
(o dirty rollers. Depending on your
computer's environment, you nnay
have lo clean the rollers once a week
to Iteep it running smoothiy. This is a
si^mpie job, but can be fiddl<y with
smaller mice. All you need to do is
open up the hatch on the Ixittom of
the mouse, take out the ball, and
scrape tlie gunge from the rollers.
Then, rea&semljie the mouse and
that's that.

If it stJIi isn't working properly, it
could be that one of the S520 chips
has developed a fault. It this is the
case, you'll probably find that the
mouse only works horizontally or ver-
tically. It so, check the mouse on
another Amiga to check whether it's
your oonnputer that's at fault If the

mouse works fine with another
Amiga take a look at the 8520
chips, and check whether they have
come unseated.

Disk drive failure is usually due to
one of iwo things: head misalignment
or dirty heads. Disk drive Cleaners are
like normae liloppy disks, but instead
of having a matgnetsc plastic disk
inside, they have a circular piece of
doth, onto which you can put drops of
cleaning fluid. When inserted into the
drive with the computer switched on,
it spins round and cleans the heads.
Alignment problems usually come
down to loose components in the
drive. II the head is drastically out of
ptace,. you shoyld tie able lo spot this
once you've taken the casing oft the
drive, and then be able to re-locate it.

^BSW""" ***»

Whenever something unexpected
happens, the first thing you must lest
IS your power supply. The vast major-
ity of problems are often caused! by
dodgy power supplies and the effects
can he eatremeiy diverse. If there's
not a. proper flow of current around
your computer's various bils and
pieces, all kinds of things can break
down. Try yeur power supply on
another Arnica end also try a differ-
ent power supply with your Amiga,
It your mate's computer acts up
with your

power supply, you've
found the root of your
problem.

If you're still none the
wiser, disconnect all
your peripherals and
try using the
computer with
various comt>ina-
tions ot TY, monitor, and
any add-ons you may have
available. After all that, if the Amrga

is still dead, you could check the
seating of the chips on the circuit
board. Beware that when you open
the case of your Amiga, you void any
warranty you may have. If the
machine is still covered by a war-
ranty, get it looked at by an
aulhonsed technician.

Note: before you take a screw-
driver to th0 computer, dis-
connect it from the mgins and ttie
power supply.

Make a note of the colour of
screen you get when you power-up,
and refer to the error messages sec-
tion on page 45 for some clues as to
what has gone wrong.

Amied with some basic knowledge
of the offending oomponenis, you can
then make sonne basic dwcks by
removing the cover of ihe computer,
and going around the chips in
sequence, making sure that they're all
fimily in ptaoe. It nolhiing seems to be
out of order, put the cover back, and
give it one last 1^, The oW 'take it apart
and put it tiack

The abo^e list came fnom an
expanded A400!), which explains the
rather toothsome amount of "tasf
memory, Vanilla At 200s won't have
any ol this Fast RAM, instead it will
all be Chip RAM.

Notice the table heading^ called
l-argest. When you
first switch on ^four
Amiga, these figures
will be quite large.
*K)wever, after you
nave run a few pro-
grams ihe figure wiJI
drop. This is due to
roemofy fragmenta-
tion. a£ the operating
system spJiis (he
memory organisation
into more and more
chunks. Eventually,
you won't have enough to run any
targe programs and the only way to
defragment memory is to switch: off
and start again. However, most mod-
em Amiga programs are very good at
allocating memory, so fragmentation
should not be a serious problem.

favourite ,part: the speed trials. The
Sjpeed of your computer is measured

hard drive speed testing is seriously
flawed, so don'l lalte it too seriously.

Despite the drive cbecl(,ing prob-
lems, Syslnfois. an excellent program
and provides a quick peek into yoor
hardware. Results can be sent
directly lo the printer which makes
comparing machines very easy.

SHOWCONFIG

Another free-gifl program, this one is
hidden in the Tools drawer of Work-
bench 3 machines. ShowConftg pro-
vktes a concise list of the available
hardware, rather like this:

The only snag is that the MMU in
an 68030EC processor isn't detected
as tjeing non-functionaL so be don't
be fooled.

HDTOOLBOX

Yet another Commodore program,
this one is aimed at Al 200 and
A4000 owners with hard drives.
Before you can add a new drive to
your system, you need lo 'prep' it and
partition it. rtOTooJ'S'oA-will cto all this
for you, and niost of it will be auto-
malic too.

There are some points to be wary
of though: first of all, be careful aboLTt
partitioning a drive you are already
using, as all the data will be lost. »

Since its launch. Pen Pal has become the
most popular package of its type

Not surprising when yoii consider the extensive features al
your fitigerCips. combined with user friendly siinpiicity, it was
hound to be a wintier! In a comprehensive Word Processor
test, Amiga Format commented "There is little to fault Pen
Pal, ii deser\'es to do well" - quite a prediction it seems!
Pormiit have since said that it's "Still the best value lor
money..." 11 you're not a Pen Pai user yet, we hope J
you soon will be, because at just £49.95... the best ^

tmi memorv, whereby the sysUm
mtmary is foaled iile using a liard disk.

• IDE, The hard mk slafid-ard supports
by ihe A44ha and AlZflO's Inlegral inier-
tacH.

Further, never perform a Low
Level Farmat on an IDE drive. All IDE
drives are already fonnatl^d in this
way, and you may destroy the drive if
IrtHj try to repeat the process. They
do need AmigaOOS formatting (from
tfie Worltbench. like a normal floppy}.

SNOOPDOS

If you can't get a program to run,
because H just dumps you right back
'.0 the CLI prompt of Workbench, you
need this PD program. SnaopDos
hides in the background, watching to
see what Amiga resources the errant
Dfogram tries to use.

So. if, (or example, you discover
itiatthe program tries to open a temp
file on device dh3: yO'U can add an
ASSIGN to r&direcl it and regain
control.

SnocpDos is an excellent pro-
gram, which ail serious Amiga
owners should get immediately.

DASHBOARD

.^erlormance monitors keep an^ eye
on the idle time of the CPU ^ in other
words, they keep a note of ho* busy
It is. Speeds are usually listed as a
percentage, with iW% meaning the
processor is working tial out

H you own Directory Opu^ you'll
already have a monitor, but ihere are

several more available. D&shBoard
is a cute little window with keeps you
up to dale with what's happening and
where. Available memory, CPU idle
time and asage are all displayed and
updated in reaJ time.

One example of when a program
like this is useful is when sending
data via MODEM, (f your CPU usage
goes to majtimum, you know thai
your serial pon is not as fast as youf
MODEM, and a fastef prcwessor
could speed up the data flow.

DISK SALV v2

Amiga disks (both hard and floppy)
occasionally have problems - and
what do you do when you need that
data urgently? In the old days we
had Di$kOocior. a rather
(let's say) basic program, which usu-
ally resulted in more problems than it
was trying to solve (including that old
favourite, 'whe-re did that Lazafus

disk come from?'),

DiskSalv i$ different. For a start it
was written by Commodore's own
Dave Haynie. and secondly it works.
If your disk has developed a fault
due to switching the Amiga off too
early, or sunspot activity, DiskSalv
will root ihrougti it and get back as
many files as possible.

many different tests on tlri& drive to

Read, Writes, Deletes and

If there is a problem with

■With NewZap you can move ^
around inside a side stored on disk,
dianging bytes and saving the

You bet, but sometimes it's the only
way that data tan be resurrected.

For example, a friend with a *"
portable PC got a corrupt floppy
whilst he was visiting, He didnl
have any PC utilities, but with a
flourish I loaded it into my
CrossDos'ed Amiga 4000, load&d
the file and re-saved it. Tfie checlt-

he had made the wrong decision in
not buying an Amiga. ' ~"

UiOINEiRS DISK

This is a special oompilation
disk from 1 7-Bit Sottware PD
iilxarjf and it incliudes a large
amount of small test programs
designed to test various
aspects of an Amiga.
Display tests, joystick and
keyiward tests are included,
as well as standard CPU and
disk speed benchmarks.

Unfarturtately, the programs
are all accessed via a hacker-
typg lunction key n^nu (and so they are
atl renamed to sO, s1 , si 1 and so on)
but there's some useful software here.

CAUTION

Wtien eKperimenting with these pro-
grams, especially Hie disk sector
editors, always try to wori^ with a copy
of any importani data, During this arti-
cle I wiped at least one
floppy disk by clicking the wrong but-
ton at ttie wrong time {Oi$f<SalvQfs\ all
the data bf^dk, but H took halt a hour).

Show i$ a twice yearly gaitier-
ing of alJ itie top nobs in the
software business. They converge in
a secret location sonmewhiere in north
London to show off their new console
and floppy games and try to nab
each oihefs ideas, W'i possible that
licensing and disiribution deals are
sel up and some business is atiktsMf
conducted, But I douljt it, In fact, the
real reason for I his gathering i& as an
excuse to eiigag,e in a wild orgy of
free (undies, booze and cra^y rock
'n' roll parlies!: Being above such
eif cesses [And if you befisve that
you'SI believe anything - Ed.] I man-
aged to stay sober lorvg enough to
cram in hundreds of meetings with
top software houses, so t could bring
you the low down of what's hot and
what's rot.

As this was the secor»d show this
year many ol the products on demon-
stration had already been premiered
in the Spring. We brought you an
extensive report on thai event in our
May issue so I won't recover old
ground again. Many of frie products
seen then are Slill in developrriont, I'm
afraid, with one or two having under-
gone major revamps. However, many
companies at this ECTS still man-
aged to display some stunning
never-t>efore-seen games. So, here's
a special Frst Imps look at the games
you'll all be playing t^efore too long.

COMPUTER

BODY BLOWS
GALACTIC

TEAM 17

THB GAMEPLA Y: tf you've
played the first game then you'll
krtow what this is all about. This
(line the scenario has been
shitted into space with Junior
and Dan, two guys fnom BBi,
taking part in one-to-one tighis
with creatures from seven other alien
rac&s. There's the hot-headed
Flame, who shoots jets of, well...
tiame, a character cafled Drscetle
and a Raptor ridden by a small elf!'
WHAT'S NEW: The guyS at Team
17 usually have a few surprises up
their sleeves, so this is bound to be
more than just anottier beat 'em up.
The moves are all new, the sound
and backdrops have been improved
and the speed will b e at least as tast
as Ihe enhanced
version ot the origi-
nal.

BEHIND THE
SCEMES: Team 17
have firmly put
themselves behind
the new 32-bit
Amigas and will be
producing a special
A 1200 version to be|
released alongside
the standard game
FIRST iMPftES-

S^O/*/S: The first ^__

Body Blows sold phenomenally welF
and this sequel is sure to do similar
kinds of business lor the boys from
'i/VakeSield, W^th the introduction oE
an alien element they will no longer
be restricted to producing pseudo-
realistic martial arts mov&s. The
gameplay, though still in early
Slaves, is already fast and turiows. ll
will tie Interesting to see though how
it tares next to Renegade's new baby

SURF NINJAS

FLAIR SOFTWARE

THE GAMEPLAY: Based on the soon
to released film ot the same name,
Ninjas is another arcade advertture
using puTzies as a block to level pro-
gression. You take the role ot JoTinny
McQuinn, heir to the throne ol a Sovlh
Sea Island. Johnny's family moved lo
Califomia when he was yOung so he's
turned out to be a cool surfer dude,
only now he's expected to return to his
Iwrrte^and to take the Crown,. To slop
him returning a band of Tiger Ninjas

have been dispatched lo deal
wittihlm. It's up to you to
fight your way out ol
California and on to the
island of Patu-San.
WHATS MEW: Ninja games
Ihavo more or less had their
15 minutes of fame on the
Amiga with the market
flooded by beat 'em^ ups. This
game, however, is closer in
ig.1yi& to tf>e Last NifiJB series
,whieh mixed both fight action
puzzle solving. Here the
programmers have gone lor
the more Iradrtional Side view to the
action,

BEHiND mE SCENES: The ilm stars
Leslie Nielson, ol Police Squad: .and
Naked Gun tame, and is produced by
New Line Cinema who're responsible
for the Ninja, TuiUe films. The game
then shcHjId feature plenty of l»at 'em
up action with a humorous twist.
FIRST mPHESStONS: I've always
liked the Lasi Ninja series so it should
be lun: playing a similai" game from a
different perspective. The graphics ,
though, seem poor.

NAUGHTY ON

KOMRART UK

THE GAMEPLAY: Take control of

a naughty scJngolboy as he battles
through various fantasy worlds. The
game is the usua^ platlorm fare
- precarious leaps, nasty enemies,
lots of goodies to collect and the
nornnal hidden bonus foonns. Ttie
wtiole thing is set across a back-
drop of five imaginary locations,
with over 50 screens of action ooh-
taining psychopathfc rotiots,
undaad mummies and oul-of -con-
trol batteries! There'll be a one-or
two-p)ayer optioo with two players
competing against each other lo
collect the toys and sweets scat-
tered around the screen,
WHAT'S NEW: Agam, here's
another game ^with little in the way
of innovation. Whilst the graphics

screens daplcting colonies, popula-
tion, elc arxJ n range oi icons used
to control th@ people and resources
it's all been seen before in games
such as Sim City, Utopis ar\cl
Railroad Tycoon. Of course, all
those games were very successful
and there's no reason to suppose
that Survival ■w\i\ be any different.
BEHIND THE SCENES: Another
Interactivision product, Survival
sees them moving into the world of
strategy sims. The game will only
run on AGA machines with at least
2Mb of memory so we should be in
for visual treat

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Survivails
scheduled for a mid-December
release so has not even begun to
be transfered onto an Amiga. The
sereenshots are from the PC vef-
sion but should not degrade at all
when converted. Although, we
have seen other sims like this
before the scenario may serve to
capture the i magi nation ol many.

quality is
high artd
the piaya-
biiiiy may
be okay
there's no
real state-of-the-art programming
evident here.

BEHIND THE SCENES: The
game's being coded by
Interactivision, the Danish coders
who are just starting to make an
Impression on the UK Amiga scene.
Naughty Ones is one of four titles
that they're set to release.
FIRST mPRESSIONS: At the
moment ihe game rung fairly
slowly ar>d there doesri'i appear to
tie too many enemies to avoid.
Still, it is at an early stage and
Interactivision may be changing
one Or two elements before
release. I! is unlikely, however,
that this game will stun anyonis.

BRIAN THE UON

PSYONOSIS

THE GAMEPLA V: Well, he doesn't
have a spiky hadk artd there's no evi-
dence o( a skinny plumber for a
brother, but Brian the LjofJdoes have
a neat quiff. And, «t's claimed that he
will become Ihe Amiga's answer to
those console greats. Well it does
have all the ingredients to make it big.
There's an absurd plot which ecfuates
into Brian running around over 30 lev-
els of baddie infested platforms. And
there'll be the usual items to collect,
like Splerrdid Speed, Really Raj Roar
and E)(cellent Extra Life as well as
the obliigatory erxJIess stream of
adversaries to bash.
WHA T'S NEW: In terms of genre and
plot we've seen it all betore. However,
this game has one or two tricks hid-
den up its sleeves. The action
breezes along at a true SOfps and
contains some multi-layered' paralla«
scrolling to give it a true console feel.
BEHIND THE SCENES: Despite the
hackneyed plot and over wonted
genre, Biisn
the Lion actu-
ally utilises
some amaz-
ing new
programming
features. For
instance,
most of the
game runs in 16 colour but there are
sections where the Amiga's copper
colour spiirting abilities are test^ to
display 1 82 colours on screen-
Perhaps most impressive of all
though is the way the game mimics
some of the SNES's amazing Mode 7
effects - zooming, de-res,, curved
perspective effects and even rotation.
All this fixim the team that brought us
Baitisiix, Awesame and the Shadow
of the 0eas; series: Feflections.
FIRST mPfi£SSiONS:lW\5 genre
has been done to death on all for-
mals so it'll take something really
impressive
to grab an
average
player's
attention.

PUGGSY

PSYGN05I5

THE GAMEPLAY; Puggsy is a

weird-lookhg alien who's crash
landed on Earth and lost his ship. The
objiect of the game is to guide him
through a hostile lar^lscape using the
objects he finds there to help him
retrieve his spaoe^ ship. There are 17
environments to explore each wi^th
Several locations within them. On
each of these levels Itiere will be at
least 20 environment-interactive
objects whicfi Puggsy can use. So,
it's an arcade puzzler in other words.

WHAT'S NEW: Psygnosis are mak-
ing much of the fact that Puggsy is a
family game. H's relatively non-vio-
lent artd will even indude a
special level designed with
very young children in mind.
It's received rave reviews
from the Megadrive mags
but then there aren't many
games oi this type on that
system.

BEHIND THE SCENES:
Another major claim Irom Psygnosis
is that Puprjsy incorporates a unique
Total Otjject Interaction (TOI) sys-
tem. What this means is that virtually
every object on screen will interact in
some way with the others - just like
real life.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: The game
p!ay in Puggsy is quite smooth and
the control system very easy to
learn, Puggsy s TO I system could
hold some novelty value for older
players but I suspect that this is
going to be one for the younger ones
amongst us.

FLIGHT OF THE AMAZON QUEEN

GLOBAL DOMINATION

IMPRESSIONS

THE GAMEPLA Y: No, Globaf

Domination isn't some kind of sub-
versive sexual activity [Shanm -
Ed.]. Rather, it's the latesl war gam-
mg simijlation from Impressions.
Play agains! one of four computer
opponeH'ts, each with their own
unique style of [eadership, like
Genghis Khan or Abraham Lincoln ,
Or. for more fun, play agafnsl your
friends using a modem link up. The
idea is to invade countries, strip
itiem of their resources, build bigger
armies and betler weapons, then
invade somewhere else. Just like
any good fascist dictator.
WH ATS NEW: Global Domination
tears a dose resemblance to that
oiti board game, fl/sfr. which was
converted pretty poorly some time
ago. Tfifs version, thougl^, is much
more detailed with player$ havrng
spies, diplomats and subversive
agents at his disposal, Another new

feature is the ability to zoom
into large scale battles and take
direct control of the vehicles
and weapons.

BEHIND THE SCENES: The
development team at
impressions spent months
researching the battles carried
out by the historical figures you'll
be fighting in an attempi to anal-
yse their strategies, Their general
tactics were then programmed in to
the game and updated to take
account of the modern weaponry
tiTafs avaifable.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Strategy
specialists impressions are sure to,
well, impress with
Ihis simulation of
world conquest. The
thinkers out there
will love the large-
scale strategic play
and the alliance
aspects, whilsi those
with a m&re murder-
ous bent will want to
delve tnlo (he real-
time battle
sequences and nuke their favourite
CitieSi. I lovecf playing Risk with my
males an<J beating the tar out of
them so I can't wait to get hold of a
copy of this Sim.

THE GAUE-

PLAY:\l
seems thai
adventure »
ftins are in
for a treat
early in '94
with this
point W dick
adventure
from Binary
llliisions. Set
in the deep
dark Sou^ American jungles you
play Joe King, a pilot for hire who
has just crash landed in that unfor-
giving wilderness. To make matters
worse your cargo on this trip is Faye
Russel. a big Hollywood movie star,
and she's none too pleased aboul
being dumped in ihe middle of
nowhere. Your task is to guide Faye
and Joe out of the jungles and save
the world from the dastardly fiend
you encounter there. Shades of Indy
Jones methinks!

WHAT'S NEW: Amazon is promised
to be a game that has a strong plot
and challenging problems. Nothing

DENNIS

OCiAN

THE GAMEPLAY: Based on the

John Hughes film. Dennis is the
Americanised version of The
Beano's very owr> Dennis the
Menace. The gameplay will t>e the
usual platform tare with Dennis run-

ning
around
causing
all sorts
of rnis-
chief and
generally
trying to
annoy Mr
Wilson,
his

grumpy

rteighbour, Trying to impress the old
(ogey Dennis has volunteered to find
his missing coin collection which
has, spookily, been scattered across
loads of locations strewn with plat-
forms,..

too new there. However, Renegade
also claim that the game will feature
verjf flexible character interaction so
you won't be limited to a set series
of questions and answers.
BEHtND THE SCENES: Binary
Illusions are a new Australian-based
software company and this game
marks their first venture into game
coding. They are. however, tiighiy
experienced writers and artists hav-
mg spent many years in the
independent comics scene in Oz.
With that kind of background
Amazon should certainly include
both a strong story and detailed
graphic design.
FIRST IMPRESSSONS: At the
moment we've seen little of the
game apart from various still
screens. It's obvious though that It'll
be in the same vein as Monkey
island and ffidy Jones, bolh of which
were huge. As ftenegade are one of
the canniest publishers around il's
extremely unlikely that they would
sign up a duff game. 1 predict that
this could be the smash hit lor
Spnng '^4.

WHArS NEIV: There's no real inno-
vation in ttiis game with the usual
levels, baddies and end of level
guardians, One interesiing aspect
though is that Dennis' weapons don't
work equally well on all baddies so
you'll have to experiment to find
which one works best.
BEHIND THE SCENES: As the offi-
cial license of the film the developers
had excellent access to various pro-
duction notes and effects used in the
big screen version. It's planned to
include samplerf speech and effects
from the film in Ihe game, including
Dennis' famous 'Mr Wilson' shout.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS: The initial
programming is already starling to
look quite polished and the unusual
baddies and guardians, like the hop-
ping mad basketball coach, should
serve fo lift Dennis above the normal
piatformer standard. I'm not a fan of
the film or Hie American cartoon
series but the computer game loofcs
set to keep platform fans hooked for
awhile.

Terra marque are a gang ol live Fins^ from the

demo scene who have Just turned ln)o pro-
fessional game deveiiop'crs. This is lo be
their first release, and as you can prohahly
tell iTom Ibe shot here. It's gonna be hig.

Here's the gen. You gel to choose Irom
sit characters, eacJi of which has his or her
own specilic location. Two are still being
worked on, Ijut the lour that are already in
the game afo a bit diherent from the usual
kind of thing, Oksy, so the htubberysumo
wrestler dues bear a rather suspicious
resemhlancE to Eddie Honda out ol Street
FigMsrli, tgutthe others are mofO original.

There's file King, who fig his his b allies
with the help ol a massive sledgehammer.
It's not cricket, but it's i tot mare effeelJve
than Ihe Queen sbury Rules, trie's nol bad lor
an old blolte actually, and atlhough the com-
bined weights ol hlsgiutand hammer slow
tiim down, you wouldn't want lo be on Ihe
neceivlng end when he goes into one. Every
good beat 'em up has a glamourous female
in it these days, and this is where Ihe Elf bit
of E//JD?nj'a comes in. Ibe sprightly young
Spock-eared girl can't match the others in
strength, hut makes up for It with a lightning
lum ol speed. Then there's Ihe Sinbad look'
a-like with his giinting blade. No, nol Sin had
rtut of BrooksJde llhal's Ihe sumo wrasUerl,
this is your real McCoy Arabian hero - com-
plete with baggy pyiama trau^rs and curly
slippers.

Siavros Fasoulas is Ihe main man
behind Ibe coding - it his name sounds
familiar, It's because he was the genius
ibehmd ibe classic inot lo mention e^cceed-
ingly brilliant| CS4 shoot 'em ups Sanxm
and Dtfta. Once aga-in he's pushing back the
boundaries of whafs possrbie on the Amiga,
so you can expect all those coln-sp-style
flourishes, such as parallai scrolling lloort,
animated backgrounds, proper 5Q Jrames per
second animalion |tor silky smooth graph-
ics), and loads more on lop.

GENESIS

FLAIR SOFTWARE

THE GAMEPLAY: In Genestsym

take the role ol a beautifut leggy
blonde time traveller in Flair's first
point 'n" click graphic adventure.
Our heroine tias travelled back in
lime lo the Jurassic pericd in a
quest for some magicai jewels. In
order to find the jewels sh&'$ going

to have to solve her way oul of that
time, travel through the mediaeval
period before iooming, olf into a
fantastic Mure environment,
WHA T'S NEW: There hav& beerr
sexy heroines before but this lady
takes the biscuit. As you can see
from the screenshots she's not too
unattractive. The sad news is thial
she may undergo a transiorrriatiofl
before final release. Sesism aside,
this is one of the first adven-
tures that merges a decent
pholo-feallstic background with
an animated character.
BEHIND WE SCENBS: The
programrner? have utilised ttie
latest technology to capture and
merge background, foregrouind
and animated movement to give
the screen a feeling of depth

and realism. Together with the
graphics th$ gamg will include a
Special score in the CD32 version,
FIRST IMPffEBStONS: The Amiga
scene has been gasping for a
decent animated adventure for
some time. This game could be the
one that finally brings Amiga
FRPGs closer to their more
detailed PC cousins. Look out for a
review soon.

game, that's for sure. Oddly enough,
there seems lo be very (ittle in the
way of game pSot other than the pofit-
ical backdrop to the game. As far as
you're Concerned, your grandfather
has died leaving you a small amount
of nioney and a semi-well prepared
ship. After tftat, you're on your own to
do whatever you want, it m.i9ht sound
a ilttle pointless at first, but. in fact,
this leaves room tor all sorts of
adventures and a game that you'll be
playing for a lot longer ihar? the five
years it took to program'

DO WHAT YOU UKE

In Ellis, your mam aim was to attain

Elite fans wiii be liappy to know
tliat tha dd Elite rating is still m ftie
game, hgt wilt be amazed at all the
^3t^>&^ ratings you can collect- As
before, you have a criminal record
^vith the galactic police. Do some-
thing wrong, and you'll be a wante-d
person, so keep your rtose clean,
There are two new ratings for you to
aim for, and to explain these I'll need
to give you a liltle background info.
The galaxy is in a state of cold war,
betweerv the two superpowers of the
Frderation ahd the Empire. Both
have spieSf soldiers and assa^ssins
all oi^^erthe galaxy, and if you should
do any work lor either, you too will
receive a funk. If you want to, you
can progress through the ranks of
either, bill not both at the same time.
As your rank increases, so will (he
level of missions thai you are offered,
giving you more and more money
and generally helping you to reach
(tie status of God.

Q; Haw I a tig have you been wQfhing on Ffontief?
A: "About live years, bill il seems like 20! II IoqIi sa long

r. what we wanted to ilo wa^i'l practical on 6-iliil comipul-
^. so we letl it. For one reason or another, we went our
^^rat« ways, SQ I've been doin^ all the coding."

QWhat was stopping EiitB^Unm being {easihie
before?

A: "It was tno slow tor t|ie compUr 3D graphics we wamted
H •». it's easv to forgel the difference between current

machines and the Commodore E4 and il was Impassible to
add all the ejitra gamepla^ tealureswe wanledtn dg. iDice

lot more wort. For example, aiJ the other siiips do lliejr liwn
things - act as pirates or whatever - so there's a lot ol work
llval the computer's do! nig that isn't immediately apparent."

Q:What was iti your original design lor Elite Z>
A: " One of tlie things Itiit we lluughA vias sorely m issi ng
Irmn Bifl£> was visiting Intfivrduai planets. There were a lot
gf other things we wanted., of fourse. ThE griginal Eittevi^
lairiyasvminelricinthesensethalthepiayerwasspeciai,
everything was centred arQu:nd the player, Thai's mucli less
SQ now. Reallf , the &pec ttiat we had then was tof a ver^ dit-
le rent game lothe gne Itiat we have ngw. Then, ESsieZmi's
a purely military sifliulalion with all the original fifii^feelto
it, liutthesj are things that in time chanp and evolve.
DittereAl things becom^e possible. We never really set ant
with a delaileiJ spec The waif l iiketg work is lo think, 'I've
got this idea, that idea and I'd love la do lliis' and |iist get
down to writing it. Ifsuaily. as you're going along you
reali&e thai there are other things you can do. Fgreiamiple,
one ol the things I never planned lor Eiits f was this internal
Ecmcept Ql reputation. Us stsmething you can't see. and it's
keplsecrel Irom the player and, put simply, is whal ihe pen-
pie ot a certain igcalily think gtlhe player. Ygj can take
passengers, and if you dgn't get them to where ftiey want to
goonlime. liiey start bait mouthing you and your repuialinn
drops. Depending cm thai reputation, diilerent people will
have different attitudes to you. One of the things that struck
me relatively iate in the day, which is slighliy perverse but
relatively amusing, is ihal there are charities in the game. II
ydu donate money lo charily, it helps your reputatign, hut
only if you dgnate quite a igti"

QtWIial tItiTiQS did you want ti] ini:fude, but

cciuidn't?

A: "Die re are ahways things that either you can't do w you

(tonl have lime ts do. As you're going along you're always

tiimking ol ideas. I think lhal most ef the things I wanted lo

put in are there. It's not really a case ot tilings I couldnl put

in. It's fust that lile is: OnJy so Jong.Ttiers are Ifitngs that

have strucisme recently that I would have liked to have
done, but I'd have ti) uinpiclt quite a lotto put Ihem in. I'm
sure that over Ihe n«il lew years I'll release add-ons and
things:- I'm snot promising anything hut I'm sure I will, i ve
pot a lot of work into this, and one ol Ihe advantages ot
doing add ons or new version ol the ganne is lhal anymrng
extra I dig is immedialo from my point ol view. It's: soul
destroying, working on somelhingfor a very longtime when
you don't see any change in il. You're tust doing the ba''V-
greund stuff, whereas the sivll thai Isadded late in the day
you get an enormous impacl Irgm because you can in$.fantly
see the difference,'

D: What's your protiiie^t moment?

A: "Prohably the astronomicai side, it's one ol my hobbies
as you probably know. The backdrop to the game i% very
accurate. I've talked to various people in the University
Astro noniy depairtmientabgul if. and it's as near as I can
make it lo fil into all the current theories. The most impor-
tanl one as far as I'm concerned is how olten planets
occur. Whal I've done is taken all Ihe data fgr Ihe nearly
systems, and that's what they are reatly like as far as we
know, Vou see, even with Ihe most poweri'iil telescopes we
can only tell where the stars are. We can't see if they ve
got planels or whal lliey're like eiceptfor in gne system..
ThgsB are all in there, right dgwn to Saturn's moons, and
they are ail a rtitally correct. For the other systems, Itie
ones we don't know about, I've tried to generate ifie plan-
ets accnrdtng to ttie cuirrent theories ol how planets fo'-i,
so you end up with systems thai are 'very likely lo b«'. The
sorts of systems that are there. Obviously il cannot show
you what is really there, because we don't know, but it's
quite likely lb be very close."

and you can land early.

MRKING METER

Once you've parked ttie Manta the
view switches to the inside of the
dreadnought's reactor. Your job tiere
is to control the ptiot as tie circles the
core blasting it to bits. This is easier
said than done as il'll try to protect
.:tself with a shield which attacks as
well as def$r>ds.

ContrOJ here iS pre% tricky 'cos
the core exerts a gravitational foree
alternaiing between attraction and
repulsion making the usua^ inef-
tia evan more frustrating. But
successful penetration releases
a shower of pick-ups giving your
Manta even more power on the
next level, Slow one ship up and
It's on to the next, and the next,

UNDER MINED

I've a fe&ling that Undium 2 is
going: to be on*? of those games
that polarises opinion. Some
people are going to go wild over
it, others, lihe myself, will end up
fealing nothing more than
antipathy, rt's true that every-
thing that glitters is not gold and
this game reinforces that axiom,
it is a polish od game and its
obvious ffiat a lot of thought has
gone into the design. However,
it's just too damn tough. But thsri
again, maybe I'm getting old?

THEATRE OF DEATH

I* s always the same, just like
" " •"■s - you wait for ages, and

Action game per se,
Instead, it's a cross between your
tioid down tlie mouse button aryj

pfogram ths moues' real time war

your platoon into the danger zone,
and then take over when the action
starts, 'VotJ have at least 1 men in
your platoon to stal with, all of
which have an extremely limited
•melligence. They will head in the
general direction of the squadron
ieader - regardless of terrain, so
waich out for quicksand - and will
all open fire on
approaching enemy
troops. They won't
try to get out of the
way of oncoming
tanks or attempt to
avoid grenade-s, so
you're going tO
have your work cut

At first glance.

Soflw people are bom lucky,
like a mate of mine who has
this uncanny knack of finding
monejf in the most unusual of places.
Others have so much bad luck that
they can't get oul o( bed without step-
ping in a greai steaming pile of dog
pooh. Bob, as you might tiave
guessed. t>elongs to the latter group
of unfortunates. Apparently, he's
annoyed a dodgy wijard who has
turned his head into a bouncy bail
and dumped il in a s&ries of mazes.
The onJy way out is to coHect all the
coins which have been conveniently
iefl there.

Your job is to help Bob oul of his
predicament by gukling him around
the maees and picking up all the
coins. Of course, there are many
dangers to face, like spiky cogs and,
in later levels, nasties in the shape Of

can only take so much before he
goes green and throws up all over
the screen. To really add some drffi-
culty there's the odd icon which, once
collected, will do really horrible thif*gs
like altering the pull of gravity or dis-
abling part of your joystick.

This game concept has been
explored before but what makes BBD
50 unusual is that It's the first Amiga
game to implement full screen pixel
rotation. Yes, the SNES's Mode 7
has made it to the Amiga. So, insteaid
of bouncing Bob around a static
maze you rotate the maze around
himi The Dome are the team betiirid
this ooding breakthrough: they are a
Sstorwich -based development house
who are relatively new to the Amiga
scene having formed a mere six
months ago.

Of course, the downside of bein>g
the first tO utilise Mode 7-style rota-
tion is that the game graphics have

detracts from what is a very
playable game, but you'd be foolish
to let it influence you for more than
a few seconds, Bob's Bad Day is
one of the most playable and addic-
tive games I've seen in some time
The difficulty curve i$ eKceplionally
well judged, the playability is
pitched jusi right and, with 100 lev-
els, it'll keep you going for a good
while. Don't let first impressions put
you off Sobs Bsd D^y or you'll miss
one hell of an addictive puzzler. Try

garage and other mundane kwalions.
There's nothing mundane about this
gamepla^ though - with hazards tike
spiiled milk and bean$ and the odd
pool bail, you'll need the reflexes of a
cat ft you're going to come oul iri-
umphant, You can play the game
wilh a friend or against the computer,
wilh the two-player head-to-head^
being (he most fun. The aim is sim-
p(e. All you have to do is driva your
vehicle around scrolling levels stay-
ing ahead of your opponent. Do this
for enough laps and you win thai
round. No gears, no tfiriils. just
action. The biggest hazard in the
game is the inertia, especially on the
faster vehicles which is fantastic^aiiy

Over the top. But this just adds to the
enjoyment as it makes events like the
formula one car r^ce on the snooker
table one of the trickiest in the game
as you're required to steer at top
$peed ctown narrow tracks and pencil-
thin turns. To add to the danger, if you
gel a lull screen ahead of the other
car you w-in a point - do that seven
times and you aulomaticaily win.

A one-player game pits you against
four computer drivers. These are
chosen trom a pool of ten, each of
who have their own strengths and
weaknesses. Some mighl driwe
aggressively, others slowly and care-

fully. The aiori is to oomp^ele three laps
and oross the line in firsi place, which
is no mean feat. While the controls are

sifTipte. the tracks are laid oul to eaieh
the unwary dnver. Otten there will tie
just enough room to squeeze one vehi-
cle through, while other areas contain
lethal hazards and winning short-cuts.
To win a race you need to know the
course. There's no room for wimps in
this game, as you attempt to barge
your opponents into track-side obsta-
cles or off the track altogether. Several
of the courses are designed with this in
mind. For instar>ce, the school desk '
which plays host to the sports cars has
a bridge with room for one vehicle only,

reach the bridge, you're liable to come

TECHNO-1

Fof leehnital merit, Micro Machines
scores minus figures. The scrolling is
smooth and fasi, but the graphics are
poorly detailed and the sprites tiny.
The sound is equally simple with
snarling engine noises and precious
little else. Somehow, this just adds to
the game's style, leaving it unclut-
tered so you cart get on with the real
business of trouncing your mates.

I've been addicted to this game in
its previous incarnations, and I'm no-
less hooked now.

Nothing has been lost in the
translation, and while it is lacking
technically, you'll t>e hard-pressed to
find a more playable game this side
of the new year. '35''

Flight simulators have been eov-
ered fronn every singly artgle
sinoB the birth of computer
games, and most of them have l>een
released by Micro-
pr0S€. Dogtigfit'ts a
step in a new direi;-
tion for the company
'hat pridBS itself on
the most accurate
simulations around -
an arcade simf No,
not an arcade game,
an arcade sinn.
Essentially,
they've just taken
out ail tbe difficult
flight controls of their usual titles,
and shoved a little more emphasis
on action. Rather than sft through a
million mission briefings, spending
all that time ctioosing armannentB
and then actually trying io find the
enemy, Dogfight s\'\Ok$ you in the
middle of battle in any of sIk histori-
cal scenarios using any o( 14
different planes from a Sopwith
Camel lo a Sea Harriar.

You can choose to go one-on-one
with an equivalent plane, take on up
to five different computer conirolled
arcraft at once or take part in 12 dil-
ferent mission tsackdropS- It all
sounds quite packed, yel it scores
badly. Why? Basically, the most
Important option is missing. How on
earth can you have a game called
Dogfigfjt and not include a two-player
option? The PC version allows for
two players, using linked machines,
so why not the Amiga?

gish on all machines (regardless of
plane types, although the older figtit-
ers do tend to handle better}. The
game is slowed down even further by
the fact Ihat when you change views,
it has to load them in. For a game

Without the two-player option,
there isn't much game left. The real
problem is that is falls between two

even on an A4000, and it lacks

JHcfipliDn af The track Bh?ad.

Top-view racing games are a bit
did liat in most people's eyes.
The genre is as old as the hilLs
■and there are martj^ who say thai it
"^s gon& 3S far 33 it can. Nalurally.
-e^e aren t peflple who hawe played
titier M^'cra MacWnes or 0^&rdfiv&-
'"le latest in a very consistent line of
"Mts from Team 17,

EtrONE^REE

Overdrive is practical ly two games in
one. Firstly, you liave ttie arcade
game, where you have lo racft^
against a succession of drivers, '.
^ach better than the one before, until
you reach the final challenge and
dairn victory. The second g^rrte tS a
time-trials challenge, where you have
TO race a variety of vehicles os/er a
"unf»t>er of courses against the clock.

Trie problem with, lunK {lads, I6 Ihey ein m^n
make carnerlng a bit trl a pr-otiliml

,,Thjs is slightly easier than the arcade
version and gives you line option to
get some practice in,

You haue four different ours to
contml in Overdfive, ranging irom a
GP to a Super sports car. All have
their own strengths and weaknesses,
as you wouid expect. The speed and

manoeitvrabrlity isn't really an isaue^ .
as you or.iy ever race against vehi-
cles of the same type. The only thing
that exploits the weaknesses is the
course you are racing on Thefe are
five difteTent type^s, ffom Grand Prix
courses to icy roads, and ihe vei^icie
you are in greatly alfects the ctifJicuity
level ot Itie course , A 4x4 witi have
fittle difficuHy in the desert terrain, but
wouid be wasted in tho city. AGP car
is far too fast fo- the city circuils, but
perfect on a facetrack.

PICK AND MIX

By mixing these elements together,
you can tailor the gatrie ta sunt your
playing level, making the game as
easy or as dtfficuit as you lil^e, Just
as well, really, as this is not a very
easy game to p<ay.

Sure, the controls are very
responsive, and it gces without say-
ing that it's inoredibiy playable. What
.^akes i1 so tough is the speed.
Everything just whips aiong at such
a rate that it's often hard to antici-
pate corners, and you end up
careering all over the shop.

Once you become familiar with a
track, then the fun feaiiy kicks in.
HS&fore you know it. you're racing
ovfc' every turtjo pad there is, leav-
ing the other drivers Coughing your
dust.

Of course, it can't all be good:, or
it would have got a mark of 100%,
The biggest problem is the horren-
dous loading times. As the levels
vary groaHy, Ihe game has to load in
complete graphics for each race,
which can lake a lot longer than the
race itsell in some casesJ

, One parti culaf thing that annoyed
me was the way that the program
needs to ioad She track after youVe
finished qualifying. Surely the
course is already resident in mem-
ory at that point?

Some of the presentation
screens are a little Gland too.l

Tearti 1 7 step ftjrward, once

Orte of the most fun games I've seen
in quite a while.

Remember haw much fun you
had playing Bubble Bobble? Well,
OH^a^is a lot like that dinosaurus
bubble-em -up. It's a two-player game
where you have to bounce around a
single SC-reen knocking out the bad
guys with largie round objects while
collecting enougih keys to operv,
exit to the next level.
There are eighty levels

SCREEN STAR

A heavMy BrmourBd duckt

for you and a friend {if you have one
handy) to smash your way through.
Levels range from castles to snowy
wa^telancts. Why two little ducks are
wandering around casiles and
wastelands, the manual
doesn't say, but there
you are, throwing
eggs with all your
iTiiight at floating
fish, phantoms

and spiked

balls. At I he

Stan of each

level, you'll

be given a

clue' as to

what to expect. Far exam pie, if a

clause pops up saying, 1 wish I'd

brought my brolly', means that the

next level wilP have a lot of things

falling from the top of the screen.

Visually, the game is little more
than an explosion of colour. Detailed

d bright sprites race around
ciSsarly-def Ined levels, and there's
)_juch thing as subtlety where the
*" palette is con-

cerned. The
Amiga can display
j'/er 4000 colours
and Qwak sure
uses some of the
brightest^

Playing the
i;3me is a real
tr;rowback to the
days when all that
rTTattered in a
game was Ihe
way it played.
Forget big graph-
ics. Forget stereo digital
soundtracks. All you need is fast
and frantic action, responsive con-
miis arKj challenging levels. Q\¥Sk
has all three, which is why I have to
keep walking away from my desk to
play It every five minutes. [We
noticed. Ed]i Ahem, wefl , basically,
it's an excellent little game, and
one that's definitely well worth
the asking price

est, He's seen his way
through various fiame changes
(i.e. the highly- suspicious Dofig),
he's suffered at the hands of eol-
lapsing companies and even
endured price hikes. Now, he's
landed safeSy in the hands of
Waddingtons' subsidiary
Supervision. Unfortunately, after all
Ihe shenanigans, it wasn't really
worth the wait.

In its initial stages, Dong looked
like a sure-fire winner, Somewhere
along the line, though, this duck has
turned into a bit of a turkey. I know
it's a bad joke, but it's true.

In this one or two-player plat-
lormer, you gukJe Donk through the

out ol the way. The bad points are
few but significant. For a start, the
level desigr>s are ejctremely ques-
tionable in places. Even something
as simple as jumping onto platforms
can be perilous. This is because the
collision detection is pixel perfect
and there is no margin for error. So,
on one level, which has you jumping
across a series ot small platforms,
it's far too easy to miss the edge
leaving you to fall to the bottom of
the screen and die. This can get
very monotonous and after losing a
dozen or so lives on this Section, I
began to get seriously annoyed.

Even the graphics are a hin-
drance. The backdrops are so bright

you can actually stand on. I lost
count of the times that I innocently

To keep them from being

scattered around Pum in places

must race around the globe

to mix together to make special

results depending! on the fruit combi-

GAME REVIEW

First up in ttiis unique head-lcj-head
challenge is Bfaslar Irom Core Design-
It's a mulli-directional shoot 'em up
mixing in Ihree different viewpoints tor cruciaH
parts o1 tlie game. At tine atari, there's a top-
down view with your ship al the cenire of a screen which rotates around you.
Then, there's a standard top-ctawn non-scrolling view tor some end-Of-level
guardians Finally there's the usual $ide-on scrolling view tor the remaining
bosses. It's an odd milt which does confuse you initially. I've no idea why they
ctose to do it this way but. it seems like an artificial means ol extendiifkg garner
play The primary rotational view leaves you iitfle time to spot enemies as
you've only got half a screen's wortfi of space to see them before they smash
into your ship. Fortunately, there's a scanner which helps, but only just.

The coders have gone for a very alien backdrop which is similar to Xenon
ft Although the badkg round is well drawn, il ends up masking the ships attack'
ino you making the ship s placement centre screen even more taxing. A bit
more contrast between the background and enemies wouW have helped con-
siderably, After you've blown up the requisite number of alien generators the
ship is immediately whisked off to lace the mother alien. Again, it's hard to
spot the difference between bacTtg round and enemy spnie. Once the mother
alien is beaten it's onto more of the ^me belore blowing otf the covers to tun-
nel sections. It's here that yoy get the side-on view. I enjoyed^ this bit more
ttian the main game so it's a shame that these, sections are so 5horl.

When you've progressed tbree levels and killed more aliens than a violent
xenophobe would manage in a week, you get to visit the shop. No, there's no
Mars bars or cool drinks on offer here. Instead, you get to choose from the lat-
est snap-on alien megadealh weapons or ship power ups, providing you ve
got the money to pay. Basically, the more aliens you kill the more cash you
have to spend on better weapons to kill even more aliens, What can I tell you,
it's a vicious circle. All in all, there's five levels ot super violent alien blasting to
keep you occupied (and thafs not counting the sub-levels). Enough for even
the mostjaded sadistic kilter.

Bisstafs not a bad game, it's jusi that it's not that good either. There s little
to be gained zooming around the screen blasting everything in sight. For one
thing you won't last very long, for another you'll never see the ground-based
installaiions that you're supposed to be blowing up. Caution is the name of the
game here Personally, I prefer the action to be a bit more trantic. I got to grips
> with the rotational thing but 1 still prefer a more traditional scroller. Which is
why Overkiil gets my vote.

\ might hav& beefi
only three-and-a-
half years since
iTie first Turns&fy
game appeared on
the Amiga, t^Jt it sure
as hall feels like lot
longer. At Ihe time of
ils- release, it was
hailed as one of the
Amiga's lop shoot 'em
ups - even if it was a
faifly derivative Ussi.
The idea was lo guide
an armour-suited sol-
dier around a series
of platformed levels, taking out as
many alien nasties as possible. To do
this, you were armed with an
ur^feasably lafige gun which could he
transformed into a variery of weapons
depending on which 0I the game's
many powar-ups you opted to pick up
on youf travels, The arcade-quality
f&el to the game, coupled with some
gob-smacking graphics, explosive
sound effects and excellently-
designed level*, fnade for a frantic
and Incredibly addictive blast.

The following year, Tumtan ^hit
our screens, Adihering to the same for-
mula as the first game, flie action was
even more fasm'turious than its prede-
cessor, wiDh more varied enemy
sprites, better attack waves, gigantic
end-of-level guardians, and even trig-
ger levels 10 Mast your way ttirough.
Then, with the advent of console-
mania, the team behind the ganes.
Factor 5, turned their attention to pas-
tures new and the long-awaited third
game in ifi^ series was quietly shelved.
Niow, after realising
the error of their ways,
:ne German-based
oevelopers have
unveiled the Ihird
Ttimcan outing. Even
better, although
they've kept the basic
gameplay trails of the
first two blasts, the
team have radically
revamped the new
game and given it
fresh vitality by signiH-
eantly tweaking the
level diesign, upping
the number of alien

nasties to slaughter, and making
things even rmore frantic than before.

On booting up, the first thing
you're treated to is aft animated iniro,
which fills you in on what's happened
since the end of Turncan 2. The evil
bio-n>echanica; monstrosi'ty known
only as The Machine has embarked.
once more, on a course of galactic
dotmination, rulhlessty destroying
entire solar systems in the pursuit of
power. Unfortunately, as the United
Planets' most decorated war hero, it's

the inlergalactic equivalent of a
'phone booth to don the famous
Turrican armoured exo-skeleton and
kick some alien ass.

FIVE AUVE

The action is sel across five increas-
ingly difficult levels, each made up of
three s&parate zones. Infesting each
one is a battalion ol The Machine's
robotic minions, plus some bizarre
biologically-engineered life forms,
each one capable oi soaking up a
number of shots
before they keel
over and die.
Most are eight-
way scrolling
affairs, set over
huge eKpanses,
although some
involve single
screen encoun-
ters with some of
the game's larger
adversaries.
Luckily, your
assault suit

by u$ing up your precious smart

Apart from the r*ew "^»* * '"""^ ^"^

weapons urvder your control one of
the best innovations is ihe use of a
grappling hook to reach previously
inaccessible areas. Ttiis is fired from
a separate gun and once it has
become attached to a solid object, its
simply a. matter of swinging from side
to side 10 build up enough momen-
tum to reach the new platlorm.
Alternatively, it's possible to reach a
much higher platform by climbing up
the wire and then leaping to safety.
It's an effective new tool in Turrican's
armoury, but because if's triggered
by holding nrlown the joystick fire but-

Each stage is set against the

be surprised at how quickiy the clock
counts dc-wn. Leave everything loo
late and you'll witness your man
crumpling to the ground as his body

lots of extra life tokens littered about
each level - too many in fact, as i
found I was rarely in danger of hav-
ing 10 quit the game and start again,
There are also a number of ievel
restart points and three sets of con-
tinues, so they've really given you
every chance of completing it.

lUDGET

HIT SOU AD £9*99

Not to be confused with the coin-op sequel Racs Orivin, HardDmin il\t a

revision ot the original simulator that's never appeared m the arcades.

At tirst sight, it looks aimo$i exactly ihe same as HD J, Select the first
track trom Ihe r^enu. and you're p^o«ike<J into the seal of a Ferran F40, which
actually looks more (ike a Lada, so you'll have to use your i magi nation a bit.
Ttie track looks strangely familiar, until you realise that it actually is the
same as the original HOT track, It's not as bad as it sounds though, as Itiefe
are another four tracks to ctoose from. They're not radically different trom
the fir^l, with no new features or obstacles, but they do inject a bit more vari-
ety into the game, ■„..;* „-li
If you still want more tracks, you can design your own with the circuit edi-
tor You get to play with all the main objects, like the broken bridge, the loop,
and scenery such aS l^ms and houses. The rest of the iracK is made up of
straiqf>t and curved sections of road- There's no reason why this couildn t have
been a very quick and simple process, iusl like setting up a Scalextric set with,
out having to liddle about joining the bits together. Unfortunately the edi or
doesn't have a 2.U mode, and instead runs in 3D,, which makes the whole thing
agonisingly slow to use. Just aUering an existing iracK is a mission - building
o^e from scratch doesn't bear thinking abouf, especially as the result would be

little different from the others on fhe disk.

On the matter of gameplay, it's indistinguishable from the original game. In

other words it's very slow running on anything betow an A1 200, tD the point

where it becomes IrustraJlngly unrespor^slve. There isnt much competition in

itie car simulation field, but compared to its closest n val, Srunf Car Racer,

iNDW is far slower, more limited,

and loses out in the playabiliiy

Slakes by quite a margin. Even so,

it yOu've got an accelerated

machine, don't mind putting up

with a few bugs, and don't already

GRAND PRIX CIRCUIT

HIT SOUAD £9.99

If vou want the thrills of Tiigh-speed car racing, without the bus-jumpmg .
of HafdOth/in It, Grand Pf-> Circuit Formula One simulation could be^us,

'^'"as. F1 simulators go, GPC isn't a bad etforl, It was first reieased in 1989
and has since been ousted by Geoff Crammond's Formtjia 1 Grand Pm. bu ,
on the surface GPC has most of the lealures offered by the premier racing
name There are skill levels ranging from Rookie to Pro, and you get to race >
Williams, Ferrari or Maclaren around eigftt Circuits, There's qualification, pfl
stops and al I tf^at ki nd of stuff too.

Speed is the most important factor in any car racer. If the program runs
slowly the control-response is delayed, and even though the dials migtil re
ter 200mph Ifs no use if you feel as if you're driving a tractor. GPC isn t loc
bad on this'scor* (considering its age), but the ser^sation of haring around a
squiggly bit of tarmac doesnl quite come across. Also, if you're after realisr
vou may be a little disappointed. The streets and flyovers ol Monaco have
been reduced lo green plains, and there are no exterior views, although yo^,
do get ihe bonus of tunnels rtow and tlien.

Overall though, il's let down by the plodding gameplay. Passing cars sirti
be a brl of a hit and miss affair, with you at the mercy of the joystick reHpo«-
When there are no other cars around, there's not enough exhilaration to
becoming a tedious trudge around a series ot similar tracKs. Then agam,
the view of a Speed freak. If you're after a simulation rather than an adren;
rush, iher« should be enough detail and depth to keep you
engrossed for some lime.

BUDGEI GAMES CU AMIGA

SUPER SPACE
INVADERS

HIT SOUAI» £9.99

"■: .a!ion eh. ain'E it a wonderful thing"? !t seems like only fifteen years ago
;■ /»e were getting aJI wel around the nether regions atioul ihis new (hing
-^i Space invaders^ but how things have changed since then. ..Now we've
j-jressfid to Super Space !nvaders[

Hanq on a minute (hough, hasnt the 70s revival been and gone yet?
.mortunately. it seems nol. Just as we're being tlogged tacky platforms and
j»es. we're also being served re- heated scraps from the coin-ops of
r*8tefyear, alberl with a dash of spicy ketchup and a sprig of parsley.

The parsley arrf ketchup manifest ttiemselwes in a number of ways. First of
all, (here's the Hashy intro sequence, which documents the alien invasion with
a neat little cartoon. Ttien there are the diflererrt level scenes, Some are static
backdrops, but others je* down the screen in real vomit-inducing style. Each
level has its own aliens, with slightly varied attack waves and a few mother-
ships now and again. The trouble is. none of the new leatures add anything to
ihe game. It's slow, jeilty, end it's (ost the feel of the original. At least it stiH has
the old sound effects.

If you want a new shoot "em up, you'd be far better oft with something lis<e
Overkitt. If you want Space invaders, just lake yoiif pick from the multitude of
PD versions. /"IT^^

SHADOWLANDS

HIT SQUAD £9.

RPGs are just getting t>etter all the time, and even if you don't have the cash
to get them all as soon as they come out, the better ones are now tittering
through to budget level, ShadowlAriti;l$ is one of these games.

Those who like to read little stories about places with unpronounceable
names will get straight into the pre-instructiion waffle. Those who can't be
bothered with all that can get straight into the game, thanks to a briet
overview that eicpiains how you're searching out The Keeper (the undead
guardian of your physical selt). if you can manage to kill him, you and your
muctio bad self will be reunited, and you can skip off hand-in-hand into the
surtset.

So that's the plol waffle, now you can get onto the game itselt, which is a
very presentable mouse-controliled RPG. All the stats and e ha racleri sties
you could want are there, and the adventure itself is pretty chunky, The con-
trol method isn't the best, but the point-and-click system works well once
you've sussed out the basics, if you want a good involving adventure with
denty of atonospbere, you Can't really go wrong with this.

• ::iere was an award for the worst use of a character license in a piatform
ganie, this would walk away with it, no pnablem. The revolutionary gameplay
has you scaling platfonns, collecting diamonds and dodging drips ot gooey

and then had the front to release It,

HEIMDALL

Dear Varnpyra,

Here is a cheat for Heirndsll When you are in a
shop, buy the piece of food then sell it back to the
shop. Now keep clicking on 'seir and you will find
yourself sailing food that you do not have. Keep on
selling until the shop is full. When j^ou're rsiady you
can now buy toads of toof^ w^^h M the money you
have made,

Another frigk is used !q give an of your team a
Storm Blade. Once HeimdaJS has a Storm Blade
havfi r.im enter the shop and select Slorrn Blade.
Now move to another person and select 'Sell*. Click
on 'Ves' and you'll find that that stiop now has one
for safe - yet Heimdall still has his.

MUSIC LIBRiUUAN

Ok pop-p(ckers. do you have a record collection td rival Norris McWhiner? If so, you could I
bH of trouble finding a particular track amongst a sea of thousands, This is where Music
Librafiafi could help you out. Music Librarian is a fairly starwJard database al heart which is
geared towards k&efHingi track of record collections. The fields in the mairt section accommodate mc?'
details you'd need to know, such as title, artist, publisher, format etc, along wiih informalion helpful x
dealers such as distributor, barcode and so on. You c^n then enter sub-sections tor each disc or lape
suc^ as the Dictionary, Track records, Library records, P«>duct records and Mail records, into which
^Ou can enter just about as many details about the particular record as. you like.

Music Librarian is certainly comprehensive, but there are a number of problems. For a start, there e
no good reason for preventing it rursrting Irom a single-drive system on a basic 1Mb machine, yet you
are unabte to do so. )t also has a nasty habit of wiping the current errtry if you make a false move, Alt -
all: the program, in general, is littered^ with confusing Utile quirks. However, despite the pitfalls, this
could be quite a handy SiHie prograim for anyone who runs s record shop or anyon^g who jusi wants to
cut down the lime they sf>end looking tor a particular r&cord.

AMFCPro
V3.1 (WB2+)

With so many different sequencers and
trackers around, gelling sequences writ-
ten with one package to load into
another can bs tricky. It'$ exactly ttiis probl&m that
Th$ Amiga Mu$ic File Comenor (AJVIFC) is
designed to rectify.

Using a simple SfD-style mouS'e controlled
ifrtertace, it al(aw$ you to convert files to and from
any of the following formats; old SouflljtTacke^^5-
Instrument mcidules, songs and packed songs,
New Sound/Noise/Protraciier modules songs and
packed songs, Sovndtraci(ef 2.6 modules and
Sor>gs, ^farTreftfrer songs, Ofrte/yser modules,
SMUS files, (incfuding Sonix scores), and
OclaMED rrtoduJes type and 1. N can atso read
and convert Sonix '.ss" files, bul can't write them.
Probabty the most useful feature Is it's ability to
convert any of these files into Music X format,
which lets you lake your tracker tunes- into a full
MIDI sequerrcer. should you wish to expand them
at any time.

The Interface is simple enough. All you need tc
do is select youj- source file, pick a destination

path and filename, ar*d select the tile type you
want your song converted to. Clic*i, on the "Do It"
button, and ycKjre off. if evefything has gone to
plan, your origmai file should be toaded in andl
saved bacit out aukimaiicaUy. AMFC can also
extract the samples trom a sor»g or module, and
save them oul as RAW or IFF fifes.

Bear in mind that (his does need quite a lot of
RAM to cany out IhB conversions, For axample,
1 Mb wasn t flnough io c»nvert a Z60K OctaMBD
module tnto WbaacX format 2Mbs is probably
the minimum youl need to convert any substan-
tial files Youl also need a Version £ or higher
for the Arnoa.

MIDI-Cofwvior IS an extra utility on ihe disk
thatconvens MusieXliies into standard MIDI
files. Using aoorriKiation of this and AMFC. you
oouW get any of your tracker, Sonl)( or OctaMED
modules convQfted to MIDI flies, which could then
be loaded rto any sequencer. This is release ver-
sion 2.0. wfi provisiKin tor re-routing drum maps.

TogetMr. Vwee two piiograms could be the
answer to your prayers. If you've been stuck in a
pit 0< nsompadtifljty. one way or another, this
should lort you out

MAKING
SENSE OF

ENGLISH IN
COMPUTERS

argor! is essential in areas such as comput-
ing, If orvly to get around the problem ol
ever-elongating phrases and leehnical
terms. For example, phrases such as a 'niax-
imised media environment" makes about as
much sense as 'puiJ-down dongle architecture' to
a newcomer to computing. GeoJl Wil kins' Making
Sense of English in CompulBrs is a guide to
most of the jargon you're likely to encounter in a
general computer environment,

This isn'l an Amiga- specific book, so you
won't find enirle$ under blitter, copper list or
Chip RAM for example. Rellecting the global
trend, the slant is towards IGM PCs, but not to
a great esftent.

f^iost of the the definitions are relevant to the
Amiga, and the brief descriptions are clear
enough to be easily understood. If you're cur-
renlly struggling with computer terminology, this
could be a big help.

CDPD

The main advarslage of CD-ROM is its enor-
mous Storage capacity. Hundred of
megabytes oan be fitted on wrtfiout any need
tor compression. However, so far. rmist of the CD
software hasn't capitalised on this One of th« few
that has, is the CDf O series, which has now
reached its third volume, A staggenng eOOMbsof
PD programs artd files are on the disc. You wont
find any games or demos, but you will find stacks
of clipart, utilities, appiicatiorts, hundreds of classi-
cal boohs in ASCII format and oodles of Other
miscellanaous bits and pieces,

Although it bears the official Gommodore CDTV
logo On the pacl^aging, most of the software isnl
any use on a stand-alone CDT'V' unit. To get ti^e
most out of this, you'll need a keyboard and an
e)ttra floppy drive and preferably some extra mem-
ory 100. Alternatively, an ASOO with an ASQO CD
dnve would be a suitable set-up for most of the
software, Unfortunaleiy the disc isn't compalibfe
with the CD32,

There's precious tittle Amiga CD-ROM software
available that's of any practical use, so this should
be snapped up by all frustrated CD-ROM users.
Even If you never use half of the stuff on the disc,
you could spend hours rooting thnough the files
and uiilities and you're boun^j to come across a
load of handy bits and pieces. Not the most exdt-
mg PD compilation, but certainly a very useful one.

gel an engineer out. It won't cost a jwnny.

If you do use Rainbow ill on the 4OO0,''O40 you
will have to turn off the 040 copybacK mode, which
means slowing down the machine a bit. For the
purpose of this review I'm using Rainbow lit in an
early Amiga 3000 that loads its KicKstart 2 ROM
from hard disk.

Firsi ol all, fitting the board is easy, you jusf
slot it in. Among th& stars on the board is a high-
speed graphics chip and 4Mb of high-speed video
memory, which is enough to handle multiple
screens and screen resolutions of up to ISOO by
1280 pixels.

Next, you need to set it up to
worK with your monitor. At a pinch,
you can gel away with using a sin-
gle monitor, but really you need one
monitor for the Amiga side and
another for the Rainbow ill- The
monitor plugged into the Rainbow
II I board must be a high spec one -
VGA or multiscan is essential.
Selling up is a rather long-
winded affair, but at least it only has
to be done once. First, run the
l^jlortilorPrefs program in orderlo
describe your monitor. This pro-
gram Rjns on the normal Amiga
'gVorkbeneh and asks you for the
monitor's name, horizontal and ver-
tical frequencies, masdmum pixel
resolution and some other technical
information; most of which can be
gleaned from your monitor's man-
ual.

Once you have described your
monitor, you tiave to run the Monitor
Mode program to select and save
the monitor you have just described.

There's a lot of them
about these days. Go on.
look out your window. If
you can't see one you
must live in a really
remote area. They're all
over the place and all

Opens a test screen on the Raintiow III board wJthi-
out complaining that the vertical or horizontal
Irequericy is too higti or too low.

You can set up as many screen modes as you
Ike. and call them anything you want, After you
have run Rainbow's Workbsnch emulation pro-
gram these screen modes will be added to ihe
Amiga's display database, and any program that
puts up a standard Arnica screen mode requestor
will have your new screen modes listed. Selecting
and usingi a Rainbow screen mode will cause the
program thai put up the requegior to trarist>er itself
Irom the normal Amiga display onto the Rainbow
Ml display. It you are using two monitors, the pro-
gram literally leaps 'rom one !o the Other.

As the Workbench display is ccintrolled by Hie
Screen modes program in Prefs, you can run
Workbench and any software that sits on
Workbench on th& Rainbow III board. There isn't
actually much point in doing this, unless the moni-
tor you are using tor the Rainbow III display is
lietter quality than the one plugged i^^to the Amiga.
Whal it does mean, however, is that you can get
by with just the one monitor as Rainbow HI can be
used for troth Workbench ani^ standard Amiga
software as welS as specialised 24'blt Rainbow III
software, K&ep in mind that if you do use Rainbow
Ml in this way, any program that by default opens on
a standard Amiga screen will be invisible to It^e
Rainbow HE boafd. It would be quite an awkward
way to wortt, and could be likened to driving a car
that can only turn left - you might get clos* to where
you want to go in ttie end, but you are going to have
to go all around the houses to get there, and even
then you might find that there is simply no way of
getting eKactly where you want to go without doing a
right turn. It you want to use Rainbow Ml efteclrvely,
you will need two monilors.

ENHANCED GRAPHICS

Rainbow III revolves afound something called EGS
(Enhanced Graphics System). EGS is a set ol
shared libraries that any software can use in order
to access th-e Rainbow HI display. The real beauly

of EGS is ihat arty software that slicks lo using
these [ibfades can be made to run on any graphics
board for which the EGS libraries are available. In
other words, if you develop a program to run on
the Rainbow III and then someone brings out a
new graphics board that also supports EGS, you
shouldn't have to do any more work to get your
software to nun on the new graphics board, And if
the n&N board doesn't support EGS and you want
youf sohware to work on it, all you need do is ask
the EGS developers ('w'ionai) to port their libraries
to that board rather than re-write your software.

There's not a lot of software around ttiat works
in tfiis way. In fact, the only one of any impor-
tance is JVPmftf, which comes bundled with
Rainbow IH,

I^Olhing more needs to be said about TVPs'mi
except Ihat it is a truly superb pairtling package
that makes the likes ol OeluxePaint.
PefsonalPaint and even BrtHisnce look like cheap
toys; it's Ihat W Ilia nf.

The EGS software provided with Rainbow Ml
are mainly preferences programs that do a similar
job to some of the Workbench preferences pfO-
grams. EGS soltware operas in windows on a
Work bench-like screen.

As you can have a 16.7 million coloui" display,
there are few restrictions placed on the look of
the Graphical User Interface (GUI). The GUI
design is 30 and much more modern looking than
Worktwnch. Puil-down menus can be attached' to
the screen title bar or a window's title bar, and
often-used menus can be dragged off the titie bar
and left 'pulled-down' anywhere on the screen.

Just about every" action you can think of has its
own rrwuse pointer There afe dozens ol them and
any of them can be edited withm the supplied
Mouse program. Similady, the colours of every ele-
ment of an EGS display - things like the colour of
text in menus, ffie colours of all the gadgets and so
on - can be fine tuned in the Colors program. As
with Workbench 2.i'3, sceen, window and system
fonts are all user-definable. You want a fancy
tjackdrop? You can do that too.

The end result is a GUI that is absolutely stun-
ning to look at and still works faster in 16.7 million
colours ihan a standard eight-colour Workbench
on an Amiga 3000, The trouble is, there's not

much you can do on this GtJI tiecause there is so
little EGS software. Apart from the prels programs
there is only Painter, a 24-bit painting program. It's
very nice, atthough no! particularly powerful or sta-
ble, bul as you get 7l/Pam/thrown-in (here doesni
seem much point in running Painter.

On the disks supplied to me there was an
fmagemasfer script for displaying images on the
Rainbow ill board. I couldn't get it lo wortt. In fact, 1
had problems running Imagem-asteron the Amiga
side while the Rainbow III board was activated.
There was also a drawer named ADPjc on the

support disk, but it was empty. TVPafrt/can do
pretty much everything that Imagemaster arwl

ADPro can do, so support for these program' is
perfiaps not as important as everyone makes out

While using Rainbow III t :had an unaccoptabte
number of software failufes. The photocopied m»»-
ual I was provided with did have 'preview for
customers and developers' stamped on it. so I'm
quite prepergd to accept that there are bugs in this
preview version yet to be squashed.

Crashes apart. Rainbow 111 is a supert piece ot
woik that deserves to be well supported by third
party developers of graphics-related software.
Whether it will or not is anolher matter. And if
Commodore is looking for someihing on which to
base any new version of the operating system that
supports retargetable 2'4-bit graphics, they could
do a lot worse ihan adopt the work Viona
Development has already put into EGS, 'J^

The A1 200 only has one

expansion slot and at

least three separate

peripherals which can all

use it. Mat Broomfield

looks at a new product

from America that solves

this access problem.. .

The A 1200 is a wonderful machine. One of its
gieatesl strengths is its ejfpandabitity. You
can add an IDE drive internally for sliigtitly
more than E1 per Mb, and you ca" '^^ 1 6-bit mem-
ory via the smart card slol at Bie side ot the
computfif. However, for real power users who wan(
to add 32-lji( fast F=tAM or high capacity drives, you'll
need a card which plugs into the expansion skit
underneafri the rnachi.ne.

There are a plethora ot dilferenl expansion
Options available: aeoelera-
lors, docks, RAM cards
and SCSI interfaces.
There's just one problern -

you can only plug one of

Ihem in at a time! Most

manufaciurers have

realised the limitations of

this and have attempted to

include extra BAM [or slots

for it) arwJ a co- processor

slot with every board. If you

buy an A 1 MO accelerator,

all currently available mod-
els support extra 32- bit

RAM as well,

innovahon

However, whelJier it's been
due to space iimilaUonsor
design problem s. a com-
iained SCSI and
accelerator tioard has nol
been a\/ailabte, until C3A
introduced their t£-Qauge
to the market, that is.

GSA's 1 2-Gauge oorres in a variety of configu-
rations aocording to yoyr preferences- The one I
looked at carra with a dock, a 50MHz maths co-
processor. 4Mb of 32'bit fast i=iAM and, of course, 3
68030 CPU. Sufpri$ingly, this was no cut-down
66ECOao diip like those lound in GVP's accelera-
tors; this was a full 68030 with MiMU, and better yet
It was rated at a stunning 50MHz! Ml^ U stands for
Memory Managernent Unit and it helps control the
Bow ot data to and froiti ihe CPU's cadhe, which in
hjm makes The dhip more efficient- This is a great
bonus 'cos there are a numtser ot programs such
as Gigamem, which will only run on machines
whtch have an MMU.

SCSI CHOICE

The 12-Gauge slots very easily into the expansion
slot under the computer. Howevi-r, fitting the SCSI
cable is not as straightforward- The SCSI port is
accessed via a ribbon cable that extends from the
board at the right-hand side. There is a SCSI plug
on the end of the cable which is designed to be
mounted at the back-right side of the computer
(wliere the blanking plate is). To fit the cable prop-
erly, you'll not only have lo invalidate your

computer's warranty,
you'll have to open the
case, and remove the disk
drive- This isn't difticutt,
but less experienced
users may tind the
prospect a little daunting.
However, once titled,
you'll have a SCSI inter-
lace which looks no more
out of place than the
Parallel or serial ports.

Alternatively, you could
simply cut a hole in the
plastic trap-door under
your computer and trail
the cable out to the right.
Ieavir>g your warranty
intact, and your computer
in pieces! Tliis option
works quite well-

The board auto-
detects whether you are
ysing a SCSI 1 or SCSI 2
drive and auto-configures
itself accordingly- SCSI 2
users can expect a slight improvement in speed, I
was going to speed test the SCSI transmission,
but such a test would be meaningless as me rate
of data transfer is more a feature of the device
hooked up to the iinterface, rather than the inter-
face itself,

BPPY CHipmr

Accelerator speed tests, however, tell us a lot
more, The second you add fast RAM, the A120D
immediately increases its speed. But the accelera-
tor lifts this speed tenfold, A Systnio test revealed
that viWn CSA in place, my AIEOO runs 6.75 times
faster than it did before. This speed increase is only

representative of a particular type of test, but
depending on what you're doing you can expect
some degree of speed increase. Regardless of the
ejtad amount of improvement, this is one seriously
impressive boaid. It does lor the A1 200, what
GVP's A53D Turbo did (or the 500, only more so!

CONCLUSION

T!ie CSA 12 Gauge is the most flexible and
impressive A1200 peripheral available to date. It
has the fastest 68030 accelerator of any Amiga
and the most flexible SCSI port. It can be
expanded up to 12eMb of RAM (in the lorm a sin-
gle 70 nanasecortd Slf^^M chip) and you can add
a 6SSS2 maths co-processor- 1 fully endorse this
produd and reoommervd it to any A1200 owner
that can afford it- i^

One day. I suddenly realt&ed that a lot of the
people in ihe family photograph album were
complete strangers. A few faces frorn my
early chiWhood I could recognise, but I o&ukfn"| put
any names to Ihe tac^s.

I desperately wanted to find oui more about
my predecessors and, as the song goes, get back
to my roots? How did I go atiout doing this? Weil,
first o1 ail. I chatted lo all my older aunties and
uncles about the pas) - who married who and so
on, I became Itie favourite nephew overnight
becautt I took such an interest in their favourite
sutjjed - the past. Accumulatmgi the information
wasnt a p«)btem, But how do I linlK all this infor-
mation? On© way you couJd do this is to is to
draw up' a family tree on paper, but this can get

Scenery Animator 4

CENTRE £«7.
TEI.S053S 3 1

David Ward goes forth
onto some spectacular
landscapes.

A few years ago, I marvelted at a compum-
simuiaied fright across the surface of Mars.
It wqg done on a NASA supercompUBf-
Here, we have a program that enables you lo do
similar trips on Earth in your own home.

Scenery Animator viiW generate rendered land-
scapes from either the several examples LUfifMoii
on the Jandscape disk, or from a fractal algoritfwn-
The randomly-produced panoramas are created
from an initial seed value you enter into one ol ttw
control panels.

The Clouds are fractally generated and you
can set altitude and coverage. Or you could go iw
a night scene with stars. However, as its name
implies, ScerreryTijT'jmaf^ordoes not just produce
pretty pictures. Its main purpose is to allow yotj to
move through them.

The eventuaJ view you will see on your screen
depends on a number of factors, such as the path
your flying eye takes over the tandscape. the
height above ground, the angle and lens local
lengtti. The route you choose is determined tiy a
number of key frames. These are placed using the
mouse. The program can ifien be set to fill in the

- ••• v-en Barnes evenly, so as to give a single
-;-_••:-: ' ;;'' or with more frames between particu-
-" --, '--iTies. This will have the effect of
si*f*s2..-35 ;jp part of the journey. You can even ffy
9muf^ mountains, but a ground hugging feature
cv» be set to avoid this.

Camera focal length can be changed during
•jN so tvA you can 200m in on particular land-
•cap* Isabres. These can be part of the scene,
wc*» as trees and takes, or man-made objects.
•Awna tor comes with a lew such exam-
. *hougih any 3D object in VideoScape.GEO

the p fooesaor the better,
and rf you have a math
ooixoceaadr ihen there-
is a dedcaied vefson o^
ScBfiBfy Animmot
included for thai on tt>e
program disk

This sort of software The« iar« mm ^r. the iiidi^iad

The software comes on a single disk. Installation
is quick and easy as the program uses
Commodore's installation routine. It installs onto
several floppies, one for each set of daialiles.

The unusual thing atsoul Origins is Ihat there is
no facility to load and save databases. When the
program is launcbed it will request the disk on wihich
the datafiles reside.

When you first start, a blank database of 1 DO
names ana 50 marriage records is Created. Ttiese
cani then be filled wilh names, dates, and places.

The manual takes you ihrough a sample session
of entering data. An example daialjase is supplied,
charting! the Kennedy clan, to give you an idea of
what the finished product should look like.

Ongins is a powerful tool. It can handle the popu-
lation of a major city if you've got the storage
capacity, but for everyday use a single floppy disk
will cope with 2,000 individuats. More than enough
for any family.

Once the data is entered you can then use it
to create lists, reports and pedigree charts. These
can be viewed on screen, saved to disk or printed
out. Jn addition to the general information. Origins
will link IFFs, notes, and source files to individual
records, These last two can be edited from within
the program if you run Arexxand have a compati-
ble editor. Origins will then ealJ (he editor and
pass the text to it.

A source is a reminder of wbefe the information
came from. Granny Smith may have told you one
story, while Aunt Sally another. This way you can
keep tabs,

How^ever, there is one drawback. Because
Origins is an American program, all of Ihe recojTi-
mended reading and Bulletin Board Services that
deal wilh genealogy are going to be .^m^
difljcult to get hold of, W^)

is test set to work m the late evening so that it
can number crunch overnight.

The resulting file can be played back usi^g
the ANIM viewer supplied or your ^personal
favourite. It's difficult to believe that such beauti-
ful and wonderful sights have been created from
only a single number and a mathe-
matfcal lormuia.

CU AMIGA^QDUCT TEST

TURBOTE

SIREN SOFTWARE^ £ 1 «

Mat Broomfield looks
at the latest entry to hit
the ever-competittve
A1200 memory market.

Like most other Amiga 1200 memory expan-
sions, tine Turbotech A41 200 is a board
which plugs in 10 til e expansion slot under-
neath the A1 200- This board looi^s much iil^e any
other except thai it uses surtace-mounted Zip
chips rather ihan the removable Simms which
most other boards use. This is a bit of a double-
edged sword because although surlace mounting
makes for a more reliable upgrade, you can't
plug in any more more memory than the 4 Mb
install&d on th$ board.

The Turbotech A41200 has a battery-bached
clock vvhich is particularly handy if you have a

hard drive as it enables you to perform calendar

related back-ups. Notable by its absence is a
maths co-processor slot, To my knowledge this is
the only A1200 RAM card Ihal doesn't have one,
and thrs comes as something of a surprise-
Apparently. Siran looked at the possibility of
including one, "but decided that the extra cost both
to them and the end user didn't justify iis inclu-
sion, especially considering the tiriy percentage of
people who actually buy a oo-processor chip to
put into such a slot,

Fitting the board is simplicity itself: remove the

plastic trapdoor slot under the A1200, line the
board's female edge connector up wilh the corr
puter's expansion bus and, wiggling slighlly. si c
the board into place, in tact, because the boarc
smaller lhan all the other expansions (due to li"'
absent co-pro slot), it gives you a little more ror
inside the computer to manoeuvre.

However, the petite size of the Iward doesr
help much when you try to remove it: I wish lh;i-
board *ianufacturers would remember when iht,
are creating boards that these boards need to be
unwedged (often with tools) to get them out of f
computer!

Once installed, the board is auto-conliguhng
in otfier words you don't have to do anything else,
it's ready to use, Because it uses fast 32-bit, 70
nanosecond, zero wail state memory chips most
computer operations are speeded up. typically by
52-75% although Siren's literature claims as
much as an 112% speed increase, I suppose a
112% increase in speed is theoretically possible
in the case of very RAM-intensive operations,
although f personally couldn't see such a signifi-
cant improvement,

In conclusion, the board is easy to use and fit,
moderately priced and ideal for A1200 ^^^^
users on a budget- This latest entry is If^tS^
definitely worth a look. ^"^m^^

At the heart
of SBase 4 is its
relational
database which

stores its intomiation as several taWes ol data,
fields, all ot which are linked together- Most of
these lietds contain test or numbers. Some of the
fields, called external fields, link pictures or
sounds lo a particular record, For example, it you
used the contents of the British Museum as your
data, you could create a database that had digi-
tised pictures of the exhibits complete with
detailed descriptions.

WUh SBase 4 Personal you can extract data
defined by age, or country of origin, or author, or
any combination of these. And probably a few
others too-The program has great depth to it.
Yes, you can jump in and have a simple
database up and running in lifteen minutes, But

to realty take advan-
tage of the (acilitles it
provides you must
immerse yourself in the
manual- This is quite a
i^eavy tome and is ded-
icated to usin§ the
database, text editor,
and creating forms.
Protessionai users get
an extra book on DML.
One important tea-
ture of SB^se is the
fonti designer which

1-1-

-ISl

I langg at dsla wjlh olhci d^mputsra,

gives the series a very unique appearance -
instead ol displaying bland text tables, the infor-
m.ation is diS|3layed via graphic boxes- This adds
a very polished effect to the pfesentation of data.

Okay, so now we've entered our data, what
car> we do? SBase 4 p0r$onaS can link formulae
and functions to data fields which means that
data is validated, so that an item is only dis-
played when particular criteria are met. You can
also calculate fields as irt a spreadsheet or use
ttie data in several fields as the basis for new
inlormation in another field.

Another method, the ternary operator, uses a
type of formula which allows the pfogram to make
decisions, A sort o( IF.. THEN., ELSE commarKl to
those of yoo familiar with computer programming,

The functions in SBase are fairly similar to the
range normally found in a spreadsheet program. In
fact, spreadsheets can be used as simpte
databases, so SB&setas the ability to import data
trom a number of PC programs.

Tliere is a lot to this software and the manual
includes 14 tutorials to help get you going. The
writing style tries lo t>e dear, but the technical
terms used can cause consternation when you are
just Starting out. Anyway, who ever said that
advancing from a telephone and address _
card file index to a Telational database rf^^c?^
was easy, s,,^^^

gadget brings up a requestor Ifiat is litef^ly Chock -a-
hJDCk with video effeels sueli as wipes, scrolls and
Wock transitions. If you've ever used a video presen-
tation systenn like Soala, ^en. you'll f&el instantly at
home with these iransitioriiS - even if you don't quite
understand wtiat each iransition does, VideoStage
not only gives a short descriptign gt tbe tranjitign,
but even show& a liny animaied representalion.

Want to create a professional video
presentation? You'll need more than a
genlock and a couple of video decks. Cue J
Jason Holborn with a copy of Aegis' VldeoStage Pro.

Amiga ownefB have a great deal to thank Aegis
for. Before companies like NewTek ar>d GVP
had even started trading. Aegis brought
Amiga owners the first-ever paint program {images},
the first-ever animation program {Aegis Animstot).
the first-ever 3D animation program ( VkieoScape
3Di and the first-ever music pnagram {Sonix -
remember (hat one!}. None of frioSe &ariy products
are even mentioned in polite conversation these
days, (Except ^eg^s /inrrn^tor whidh tias aged very
well and is still a favourtte program of mine.) but no
one can doubt that they laid the loundaiions for the
amazing software that ihe Amiga now er>joys,
Aegis are back with a brand new combined
video presentation and tilling program called
Vid0oSt&ge Pro. Borrowin^g more than a few tricks
Irom Aegis' failed business presentation ptogram
Pnesentation Master, VideoSlage Pro lets you pro-
duce professiortai quality video preserttalions
complete with titles, animaBons, sound samples,
graphics and OVE-Uke video effects without having
to Own an ArTiiiga powerful enough to run a oudear
power station. Armed, with nothir>g more than an
Amiga, agenloct*, a couple of video decks and this
software, you'll be churning out vkdeo productions
ttiat would put Industrial Light and Magic to shame'

COVER STORY

The VideoSsage program comprises of a number
of linked modules that allow you to create titles,
pull in IFF graphics and animations and then link

them all together complete with timing: information
to create your finished production. Upon loadir>g.
you're presented with the VidsoSSsg0 'Sequencer'
screen that looks not unlike the storyboards used
in the professional video industry. In many ways,
the comparison is closer than you might think -
just like a story board, VideoStag^'i sequencer lets
you view the flow ol yOur video presenilation from
Star! to finish using tiny 'frames', each ot which
represents a major event within your production.

The terminology i& pretty similar loo. Video-
Stage refers to each frame withm the stor^board
as an 'event" which can consist of either a screen
full of titles, an IFF graphic or animation, a sound
sample, a genlock event or you can even play an
^flexY script. As I've continuoysly tried to bang
into the tieads of both users and developers alike,
ARexx compatibility can enhance a pfoduct
iffi measurably and vyeoSfage certainly benefits
from this all -important leature. By taking advan-
tage qI AR^xx, there's no reason whatsoever why
VideoSlags productions couldn't draw upon the
talents of any program or hairdwar© device that
offers an AFtexx 'port'. If Commodore's soon-to-be-
released FMV-compalible CD-ROM dnve offers
ARexx compatibility, you may even be able to
sequence Digital Video clips from within
VideoSlagel Each event has two extra gadgets
associated with it that lets you adjust the duration
of each event and even attach DVE-like transitions
to an event. Simply clicking on the event's DVE

TIME SCALES

The sequencer screens give you e:i<tensive control
over your video production. As it starts lo grow, you
may want to rearrange events into a dilferent order.

With VideoSiage, this is no problem whatsoever.
Just dick on the event you wish to move and then
drag at to its new position and the entire production is
shuffled back to fill! the space that is left. Vou don't
have to play a production in the order that it appears
on the screen either- by inserting 'index' points into

W your proQuction, yOu can mark cerlain points almost

production as a series ol -iraclKs", each of which con-
tains all your titles, graptiics, transitions, genkjck
events, ARexx scripts and index evertls exactly as
they will appearwhen the production is run. E'jen
A your produclion jumps backwards and lorwards
between ifiKte>; points, the time line editor will
show the flow ol your production in its entirety. If
you're not entirely happy with any events, you
can fine tune tjofli their position and duration sim-
ply by dragging an event'$ start and end markers.
Experienced videophil&s may find Ihis editing
system somewhat familiar - Gold Disk used it to
great effect in its 'ShowMaker' program a couple
of years ago.

more than just run-of-the-mill static titles- If you're
luiiky enough to own an AGA-l>ased Amiga,
VideaSlage^ liller can take full advantage of the
extended screen palettes on offer, giving a much
wider choice of colours. By delault, itie tiller runs in
higti resolution with 32 colours - more than encugh
for even the most complex titles - but you can quite
easily change this to any screen resolution and
colour combination witfi up 10 256 colours. You can
only ever use a maKimum of 32 colours for colouring
your titles, however, but ifie rest Of the palette can
be used for backdrop images and patterns,

Accessing the title r is simple enough; just cre-
ate a blank 'title' event on the sequencer screen
and ihen double dick on it and the titler springs to
life, Just like a conventional titler, you can then add
test in a variety ot different torsi siyies and adjust its
justiticalion, point size, hll pattern {VideoStage
otters a number of dithered till patterns tor text) and
its colour.

One very- nice leature is the ability to automali-
cally anti-alias text which helps to smooth oui the
'iaggies' normally associated with computer-based
titling packages. It's surprisingly quick loo as any-
one who has used DPa/flf will confirm, anti-aliasing
usually slows test rendering down tremendously.
but VideoStage keeps ihe pace up even when the
best anti-aliasing system is used,

COLOUR CONf UCT

The support for Ihe AGA chip set comes in very
handy indeed when you load in IFF picture files,
Providing your picture doesn't eat up every single
colour register. VideoSiage lets you place bolh text

<-ind structured objects on top n-f the image. Some
types of image seemed to work better than other';
HAM mode images, for example, display line wht
loaded into the titler, Iduithey a.iie sometimes cor
rupted when your video production is played back
As for Ihe new 'HAM8' mode offered by the AC
chip set, donl even bother! VideoStage seems to
hate any pictures that use more than 256 colours.
Woii<!bencti 3.0s, 'mode promotion' lacility seemed
to cause a few protlems too. although the Images
would promote okgy, the constant IlicKing back-
wards and fonivards between interlaced and
non-interlaced screen modes eventually caused
VideoStage lo aash! It's best to turn off mode pro-
motion when you're working with vkleo soltwar*
because the Amiga's interfaced screen modes give
tar greater video signal slability.

VideoStage is a brave attempt lo bring
videophiles a video titler that can do just about
everything and, to a greater extent. Aegis has
achieved this aim. Unfortunately, there are still a
couple of bugs thai need to be ironed out but 1
guess this is unavoidable with such a complex piece
ol software. Gripes aside, however, WcfeoSfage is
the most complete Amiga videotitter available. If you
wanlto spruit up your videos of your auniie Mabte
on the beach, then look no further than ttiis, ®i

FS-Task

There's scire grea! software being released for
the Amiga these days, bul no one can escape
the tact that the PC marhfit still has its share of
martBt-leading products. Programs like Profe$$ionai
Cak, Sypef Base and Wordworiti are still looked
upon as pwr cousins in comparison to PC products
like Lotus t-2-3. dBase and WofdPeffsct. Liks it or
not. the PC still reigns supreme as l^e premier
mactiine for busirsess software. PC games are start-
ing to advance in leaps and iMunds too (if you dont
believe me, asK your PC-owning friertd' to demon-
strate X-Wing\). so it's no surprise Uiat Amiga
owners want a slice of the action. PC emulators are
oertajnly nothing new, but up until now they've been
almost exclusively hardware-based- Bllcon's KCS
PowerPC tfflard, Silica's AT-Once and even Comm-
odore's bridgeboards nely heavily on PC tiarttware
to keep the emulation running as last as possible.
Now, Chris Hames, the author ot PC-Task, has
taken his PC software -based PC emulator one step
further artd it has been released as a commercial
pioduct. Promising full PC compatibilily wilhout the
need lor espensiwe hardware, PC -Task seems too
good to be true,

SCREEN SCENE

IF itiere is a spanner lurking in the works some-
where, It certainly can't be found in PC-Task^&
impressive specification list. Vec/ lew of the hard-
ware-based PC emulators fully support the full
range of PC video adaptors, taut PC-Tas^: is the
estceplion. Even on a standard Amiga, you can run
PC-TasK in MDA, CGA, EGA and even VGA
screen modes. Otviously, you're not going to be
able to display the full 2&6 simultaneous colours

A^MrflHfl *lt*i PC-r*s*y*u C*n run industry standard

offered by a true VGA PC - that is, unless you own
an AGA'based Amiga. It's a well known fad that
ihe AGA chip set was designed to give the Amiga
a certain amount, of screen compatibility with VGA
PCs and Chris Hames has been quick to make use
of this. PC-Task supports the PC VGA modes 11,
12 and 1 3, the last ot which can display a full 256
cotours on screen, Mosi PC games, however, use
non-standard screen modes so don't get too
ej(cited. PC- Task's use of hard disks is very good
as well. Unlike emulators such as the KCS
PowerPC board and Silica's AT-Once, PC-T^sk
doesn't insist that you refomiat your hard drive just
to set up an MSDOS partition. Instead, you can
define an area ot your hard disk that is locked of I
to AmigaDOS ar>d assigned to the PC emulation.

Once set up, AmigaDOS is not even aware of
Its existence,, so you don't have to worry about any
file conllicis or accidental deletions. A word of
warning, however - before you allocate a section
ol your tiard drive to PC task, back up your hard
disk, For reasons known only lo MSDOS, I man-
aged to corrupt an entire SOMb partition on my
hard drive despite the fact that I gave PC-fasfc
only 10Mb of hard disk space!

PC-Task doBSn"! directly support PC format
floppy disks, so you'll need to install an MSDOS
device driver like Mes^yDOS orCrossDOS. If you're
lucky enough to own an Amiga with Workbench 2,1
or 3.0, then this isn't a proWem - CrossDOS can be
foijnd preinsialled: on your Workbench disks.

EMULATION SENSATION?

Software-based PC emulators have never been
renowned for their speed of operadion and PC-
Task unfortunately
isn't going to change
this. Even on my
expanded A 1200
(which, according to
Sys Info 3,11, runs
almost five times
faster than a stan-
dard A600),
PC- Tas^ achieved a
Norton SI rating of
0-9-

Hardly impressive
stutf when you con-
sider «hat Silica's
AT-Onoe card
notches up a Norton

^ rating of around 6.

daiabesBB iik» A*iii«i Tin * dBASeiN+. Screen handling is a

Chris Hames' FC-Task
emulator started life as a
PD program but it has
now made its way to the
commercial circuit. Jason
Holtiorn transforms his
Amiga into a PC .

real problem too - PC-Task redraws screens so
slowly that most PC productivity programs run just

too slowly to be useful. It has to tie said^ however,
that the standard ol emulation is very high.
Although ve^y few of the games thai I tested even
got as far as the title screen, Microsoft's bench-
mark flight simulator Flight Sim IV ran, if somewhat
slowly, without problems-
Most productivity titles worked okay too: c'Sase
IV, Lotus and Wordatai worked okay. Very few pro-
grams that opened VGA displays seemed to like
PC-TasK however, so don't expect to get Windows
running. Even if it did load, Windows is horren-
dously slow even on a PC so there's little point
trying to run it on the Amiga with PC-Tasi^.

Chns Hames has done a great job of making
PC-Task as compatible as possible, but it's really
not quite good enough to be a serious aliemative
to a hardware-based PC emulator, let alone a true
PC. If you need to njn PC software, then I'm alraid
the only option is lo either buy a real PC (second
handi '2B6 PCs can be picked up for peanuts these
days") or plump tof a hardware-based emulator.

PC-Task has its heart in the right place, but it's
just too slow to be useful. PC-Task is a snail in
wolf's clothingl ^

of 3DD, and whose turn it i^ to
get th9 next round in.,.

Mat: Witii CD32 and the consoles, the

trend is away from conpuJers witli key-
tjoards, so what's gwng to tiapp&n to
tlie fMogrammafis of the fuHure, where
are tiney goi^g to come f rqm?
JofyoTt: Tliis is a major problem.
Consoles are caimpieteiy different from
the old Spectrums and C&4S whidi
whire common curren<;y wtien I was a
youngster.

Sefen Program ming's not nearly as
accessible as it was. Bask; was bun-
dled with the Spaetrum and was a
good introduction without hawing to be
certain that you wgnded to progiram
belore diving in and forking out for all
the aquiprri£<il.

Wavey Davey: It used to be that you'd
sit down and play a game, and you'd
be using the keyboard, and there 'd be
probtems involved with that and you'd
tliink 'Oh, how can l do this, how can I
do that?'. Now the stuff has bepoine so
easy to play. You just plk>g a cartridge
in and you're there. You dun't havelo
do anything. There's no thought
ir^voh/ed.

Johfl: You'll linda
way ol doing it- Just
as MIDI has made
music a lol easier,
there'll be ways to
make programming a
lot easier too.

Joiyofi: Look at the ptienomenal suc-
cess of AMOS. There are a lot of
people who want to have a go at pro-
gramming,

Mat; If people REALLY want to pro-
gram then they'll go out and do it, but
what about the people who didn't have
that initial interest but drifted into it any-
way because they found it easy?
Wavey Dsvey: You drifted Into it
because you had to, If you wanted a
cheat in a game you had to lype in
POKES.

Jolyon: Exactly. You had to type in a
fifteen line program,
Wav9y Davey: Now if you want a
cheat you press a button and move
the joystick to the left three limes, and
that's it.

Jolyon: It's going to be simple tn turn
■the CD32 into a Hsomputer so thai peo
pie can get into programming.
Etfectively it's stUl got the half meg
Kickstart ROM inside it, They haveni
taken any ol thaloul, it's all there so
you can plug in a keyboard with the
oipUonal add-on, and add disk drives,
hard disks, all sorts of things.

that's an option. And then you've got 1:
stump up a lot of money.
Dsvid: I think you'll find that if a 'kid's
already got a CD32 and he wants lo
learn pnpgramming, he'll go out and
buy an ordinary Amiga as there are
plenty going second-hand.
John: As a means to avoid piracy, do
you think publishers will produce CD-
only games so that the 12O0 won't
have any games for it any more?
Stoo: People can get a CE3 ROM drive.
John: Is CD going to kill olt (loppjf
games totally?

Stewart: Maytje in IB months,
W9VRy DAvey: I think that's a bit opu-
mistic,

Jolyon: CouW be. Depends on Bie
success of CD32.

David: Or you might see the price of
floppy games come down.
John: Sut companies are nol going to
produce two versions of a game, are

BfSc: Sure. But I can't everv see a user

size of the Hoppy market within the
ne>ct year.

Wavey Davey: O^ caufse. the other
point of view is that it's precisely
because there's so much piracy that
Amigas have soW so well. 'Oh I know
a load ol kids who can get me some
disks, I'll go out and buy an Amiga, I'll
get a load of free software,'
Mai: But what about Nintendo and

True there are piracy devices lor Ifiose

Neveriheless, their user bases are

Si9waft: But il's alJ ISO 9660- isn't il.
so it can all be read on a PC?
Jolyon: The problem is the copyright

Mai: Thts raises interesting questions
about emjlahon. So far ihe Amiga has
emulated other machines, but they
don't yet seem to have got round to
emulating the Amiga, How much longer
will itlse till thai happens?
jQiyon: Till you can get a board to
emulate an Amiga in a PC. for exam-
ple?

Msf.'Yeah.

JoSyon: Two reasons: firstly, why
bother?

< General assent Iromi around the
tabte >

Jolyon: Seoor»dly, there's a bt of cus-
tom techrKilogy on there which is
owned by Commodore and which they
have absolutely no intention of lieenc-
rng out.

M»t; But that's also true ot the Mac,
yet if you buy She system ROMs you

can emulate one on an Amiga, So you

could buy the Amiga Kickslart ROMs

and whatever.

Jolyon: But basically you would be

buying a board without Kickstart

ROMS, without CIA chips, without

Blifters or any other chips.

Mat: So you'd simply be tjuilding a

wlwie Amiga from scratch?

Jolyon: Particularly now with the AGA

chipset, where everything's sufface

mounied.

Stsw&ft: Tliere was an Amiga laptop,

wasn't (here?

Mat: Yeah, but CBM ireportedly

blocked it.

Stoo: For the same reason.

Mat: A new Amiga-based machine has

con>e out now which emulates an

Apple Quadra and a S6MHz 466 PC

and which retails at £3000 for the base

Hat: I can't say much more, btil you'K
see an exclusive review in an upcom-
ing issue of CU Amiga.
JolyOn: It's ej<trem^ly easy lo lirafS-
-:"e a Mac if you've ^ot a esoOO.

Jolyon: And a PC jfOu don t hawe to

siraight of( the she^t Those two
machines are especially easy to emu-
late. But the Amiga is partieulariy
difficult toe mulare.
Maf; So is there any poini in a cofn-
pany bringing out this machine? it
seems very u;selul in a publishing envi
'onmeni.

Jotyom I can s&e it being very us^l,
not (o the games industry but (or Ihe
multimedia side of things. I can imme-
diately see how Video Toastef qr
ScaJa on a PC wquIcI be a good thirig.
They're currently designing Scala lor
llie PC, tiul it'fl be very limrted unless
Ihey have a specially designed graph-
ics board, preferably with Amiga chips
on it. It's impossible to do iit on a PC
without Ihe Amiga's cuslom chips-
Mawtekane actually
designing new genera-
tion Toasters which will
be PAL CDTnpatibfe and
will sNII rely on the
Amiga. In tact at the Devcon, they
were very adamant that they wouldn't
be developiing il for any olher platform.
Joois; From a programmer's point of
tfiewf, the ideal world would be
CommodOfie, Sega and Nintendo
putiing their brand names to the 3 DO,
and thai way we don't hava- to mess
about doin^g versions for everybptly.
We get one standard, one machine.
Afifiy; That's the point of the 3 DO, isn't
It?

*tof: Yeah, they're trying to create the
new ■wflnld standard" with the 3D0 but
are they going lo achieve it, especially
at S/OO"?

Jofyon:300 has pot some very clever
hardware in il, some very clever pro-
cessors in it, but currently it's just too

expensive to pjoduce a 3D0. They

cannot produce a 3D0 currently and

sell it at (he same pries as CD32- it's

impossible wi|h the current prices of

technology.

Mat: Do they need to, considering they

aim to represent the next generation?

Stewart: The Amiga 1000 was cwer-

prioed when it came

out.

Joiy0n: But Ihe Amiga

1000 didn't survive.

Stewart: The Amiga

range did thoygh.

Imagine a 3D0 500!

Jolyon; The Amiga lOOO sold less in its

ewstence than ttie CDTV did. CBM

didn'i have the faith to stay with the

Amtga 1 0OO and it became successful

eventually with the other Amigas. They

ditched the CDTV afler a si mrlar period

when it wasnt a success. 3D[> is not

going to be a success Ihe first year. It

may not be a success the second year,

but it probably will be a success Ihe third

Mvl; You don't think (hat rival technology
wil have caught up with it by then?
Stawwrt: By then a 48^ will be incredi-
bly cheap.

jQlyon: That's esactty the point. The
threat la the Amiga and me CD32 is
trom the PCs pnmarily.
Stewart: If you buy an Amiga now,

'Irving Gould gnd Mehdi Ati ^ 200, monitor, e^tra

was highly favourable. ' watch titms on v hs,

and listen to mysjc on a standard
audio CD, [f you want games it's gt>Jr>g

to be 3 DO. It'll become an absolute
standard.

Jolyon: They said that about CD-i and
that doesn't Itook like it'll succeed.
Andy: Bear in mind the thing thai
makes 3D0 special are the people
behind it.

Jolyon: One o( the other problems
with 3D0 is thai it's an expensive sys-
tem to develop for.
Mflf.'Why?

Jolyon: The development hit for 300
is very expensive.
Slewerl; You need a Quadra.
Mat: That's three grand, yeah?
Nevertheless they've got morelhan
300 companies signed up for it-

Jolyon: I'm signed up for ii. All you

need to do to sign up for 3D0 is phone
up 3D0, say 'Send ma a form', sign it
and send it back,

Mat: So it doesn't actually demon-
strate any commitment whatsoever.
Joiyon: It didn't cost us a penny to
sign up.

Mfff: So what about signing up for
CD32? What does that entail? Is there
any commitment needed to do that?
Jolyon: Um, well, no riot really. The
only commitment is that when you
decide to do a title you have to sign a
licence agreement. In both cases it
reQuires a three dollar licence fee per
title you press, the difference being
that on 3 DO you have to pay it at repli-
cation which basically means thai your
replitaiion cost goes up by ihree dol-
lars which is very significant. It's more
than the cost of a dish which can mahe
the initial production runs very expen-
sive. On CD32, at Jeast they decided
that the licence wouW be charged on
sale of the dbe. So at the end o« the
quarter you pay the licence for (he
stuff you've sold which is a lol more
' Thsy cannot produce a sensible. Therefore it's

3D0 currently and sell it at ''^^^^' *^ ^^^^'"p

it's impossible^ with (he cur- Cenainly small com

rent prices of iechnoiogy. ' Ponies like ourselves,

who are risking their
own money on it. find that there's s lot
"less, to nsk with CD32.
iMet' How are these development fees
poiiced?

Jolyon: They have agreements with
all of the CD ROM replication houses
that they'll report back to them the
number of disks pressed.
Mat: So what if you set up your own
replication? Is that feasible?
Jolyon: Nol really.
Stewart: If you have a wareJiouse in
South Korea somewhere:!
Jolyon: There are cheap plants going
in Bulgaria apparently at the moment.
Jotiii: What was that you were saying
about the 1 20(3 being faster than Ihe
4000?

Jolyon: Did I say that?
JOif}/}: Allegedly!

i/Oifj/o/?: Well allegedly. I've heard from
'unconfirmed sources' that the 4000"s
chip HAM is slower than any other
Amiga. They basicaily screwed up the
Chip RAM design -apparently.
John: So if you put an accelerator into
at200...

Jvlyon: It's possible that it wmiW run
anims faster than a 40OO.
John: So why buy a 4OO0?
Jolygnt It's got Zono slots. It's
expandable. Actually Zomo III' slots are
a very good idea. Most people think
'Just put 3 card in and that's it' but
there's a lot more to it than that. They
are very complex to design and they
did it well. Certainly a lot better than
the ISO-bus in PCs.
John: But who uses the slots in a
4OO0'?

Jolyon: Mel Games developers
mainly and video people.
Osi//d: While we' re talking about slots, »

ZEOO and the 2400 and Ihe 3200 and
the 3400, The f irsl two to anive were
to be the 2200 and the 2400, The
£200 was 10 be a machine with two
slots and Ihs 2400 would be a 4O0O
style twx with (our slots. Th& ditfer-
errca being that it was a Kickstart 2
ECS rrorhertoard and they acnually
had rhese as prototypes,, which were
otherwise very similar lo the 4000, I
believe there were 020 and 030 ver-
sions of that. Then Ihe AGA chifiset
was completed earlier Ifian antici-
pated-

Stewfffl: Three years late,
Jolypn: As opposed to five years. So
the machines became ob&piete
overnight and there was no point sell-
ing what was originally going to be Ihe
320O and 3400 which were It^e AGA
vereions, so they dropped the two slot
version and re-named it the 40O0- So
that accounts for all those magazine
reports and Kelly [Sumner] going on
about the 240O, and it wasn't just
vapourv^are.

Stewart-- Was there a SOOO?
Jolyon: Lew Egg^brecht was over in
July and he said Ihat ihe next Amiga -
he didn't call il the 5000 - that they're
worlsLng on would be a high end
machine using the triple A chipset,
would run Windows NT operating sys-
tem and would be based on the
Hewlett Packard PA RISC chip.
Jools: And they're going to marfcel it
as what? A games machine!
Jolyon: fiiS a serious graphics work
station aimed at the low end user with
a lower piioethgn the Silicon Graphics
Indi and it will be corripeting directly
with Ihat.

Jatin: So is the 40O0 the last Amiga
as we know it?

Jof/Drt:Yeah, proba-
bly.

Mat: Eggebnecht said
thatthey were going
to woriK on an 'OGO

allow a buyout unless it was highly

favourable lo them, and I don't think

anyone's got the money to be that

extravagant. In any case, if C0M were

bought oul. it would be split up and it

would be bought ior its resources, and

there are very few good people left

now.

John: Il heard itiey were giving staP a

day off to go lind a new job! *

< Laughter >

Jolyon: And I heard all their manaigers

were learning Japanese!

Joois: It's worrying when Kelly

Sumner just quits like that,

Stewart: No, "cause Motorola's worth-

Jolyon: CBM have said many limes
that itiey are not working on a
PowerPC based rmachine despite the
obvious advantages thai It would give,
Hewlett Packard's is (he one ftiat they
have chosen for their new machines
simply because otthe cost The cost
of the chip compared to its perfor-
mance is much bettBT, This chip was
designed to work with Laserjets and
Ihe perlormance it gives al the price is
a tot belter than ainything Motorola can
olfer,

Stooi So the next Amiga will be a
laser printer!
< Laughter >

Wavey Davey: fm disappointed that
they're going lo go for Windows NT.
Jolyon: This is what Eggebrechi said
in July. A report has gone up on CIX
based on the postings of two people
ctaiming to be CBM engineers, and
although we can't be certain il seems
likely. Although people were talking
about a new CBM machine in a year,
these guys say ttiat there's absolutely
no way. CBM just don't have the
resources to do anything. All o( their
current engineering resources are
going inio CD32, everything else has
been shelved. The original designer ot
the doubliB A display enhancer tor the
4000 has left and so that's protaWy
been sheived-

Mat: Reading between the lines does
this mean that if CD32 (ails, CBM
■goes under?

Mat: There were rumours, which
CBM- denied, about them being
taken over by larger Japanese sup-
ptiers,,-

tfolypn: I dont know anyone who'd
want to lake them over.
Ben,' Vou don'l lose hundreds of mil-
lion of dollars in less than a year and
walk away trom h.

Jolyon: The trouble is the main share-
holders, at CBM, Irving Gould and
Mehdi A!i, and some intlttential friends
of theirs, are eKiremely unlikely to

apparently gol no plans ior advertising
it in the US, They'll launch it but
they're not going to advertise. In the
US the Amiga is seen 1 00% as a
video machine and it's got ItseH a good
role there.

Sen: It's got itsetf a niche.
Stoo: A niche thai the PC can chip
away. All it lakes is a decent card for
ihe PC and suddenly they're gone,
Jolyon: Weeell, it would take a whnle
t!3 do that on Ihe PC The PC market
has had seven years to catch up with
the things the Amiga can do, and they
haven't yet.

O^vhd: PCs rely more on the corporate
market than the video market,
Jolyon: Within two years there'll be
cards on the PC that can do all that
the Amiga can do plus
more.

John; I love the Anniga,
I work in Universi^
where I'm surrounded
by DEC workstations
and ■486s and my .Amiga 4O00 leaves
Ihem lor dead 'cause their editors are
all stupid little character based things
and Ihe windows all use fake shadirtg.
Jolyon: The Amiga operating system
and Workbench are »ie best operating
system I've seen on any computer,
Stewart: But peo-
ple see the
Macintosh
as the

big one.

Jolyon: The Amiga's tar better than
the Macintosh,

Stewart: But that's the probiem.
Nobody knows hiaw good Itie Amiga is.
John: How come the Amiga got such
a good operating system?
Jolyon: Because Mac didn't sue. Why
do you think Windows is so bad?
They're scared of Apple. If they'd put
in anything that made it look like
Macintosh they would have been
sued, CBM already had those things
In, and have had Ihem lor so long thai
Applecan't sue them,
Jottn: is there any chance of the
Amiga Workbench living on as soft-
ware lor another platlorm?
Stesrarti Well it's only single screen.
On the Mac you can plug a new card
in and you can move a window from
one screen to anether.
Sen: You can do that on an Amiga
without having to buy a new card,
Jolyon: The advantage of the Amiga is
that it does exactly the opposite. You
can have mare Ihan one virtual screen
on a monitor and just drag Ihem down
or Hip to ttie back. There's no other
operating system I've seen thai does
thai, and yet it's far more productive.
Jolyon: Now that I'm used lo the
Amiga, when I have lo use PCs I find
myself so restricted by them. If you're
using DOS, there's no standards. No
standard file requestors, no standard
menu system. Everything's dilferent.
John: So how good is Amiga software
oompaned to PC software?
Jotyon: It depends on the lield. The
Amiga is tacking decent industry stan-
dard applications like word ppooessors.

Jolyon: If you're going to do an appli-
cation on ihe Amiga ttiat was as good
3S Word lor lAfindows, it would have to
cost the same as Word for Windows, if
not more so because ot the limited
user base.

John: Is the Amiga dead as anything
more than a games machine.
Jofyon: There are things that can be
aone. For instance it they took the
txidgetsoard idea lurltier and came up
with dual processors. «l would be pos-
sible lo have a machine thai could njn

Amiga soft-
ware and
Wirtdows soft

same monitor.
Ben: Part of that solution
has to do with targetable graphics a&
well. It's being worked towards but it
needs a lot more support.
Jolyon: It's not being worked towards
The Igst Itiing I heard from CBM was

they're wailing for someone lo take rt

Tony: What are relargetable graphira?
Jofyon: At the moment the Amiga is
very much based around Ihe custom
chip set so

Workbench and what-
ever all open on thai

A1200 and market it as a damned
good games machine with workstation
graphics or as a much more serious
computer.

Joiyon: This is what they're doing
now, tJnofficial reports are coming out
thai they're puJNng out of the higher
end home market. This is a bit worry-
rnq for companies such as Newtek -
who rely on the Amiga.
5eb:lt\s problem is they're lostng all
Iheir development staff. Now if anyone
wants to restart development they're
going lo have to go bach tg square

John: So if CD32'b a suc-

Jolyomyss, that's what
they're hoping. They're
shutting down all non-essen-

saying 'Well, we'll have another look at

Sen: The idea is thai people don't

Jofyon: So you use the grapliics library
and it handtes display transparently for
you. Of course., il means oot all games
will work but I think we're looking at a
differeni market now.
8^n: There's a stratification in 1t»e Amiga
marketplace where you have the choice
of using an A4{)0Ofor ganies or using it
tor produClivrty - one monitor won't dis-
play all Itie modes. A 1 942 monitor is not
bad as a low and monilo*' (or a 1200 but
its no good for someone doing DTP; it
doesnT display at a high eiwugh resolu-
tion. So you move up to Ihe 1 5 and 1 7
inch tTKjIli-syncs that don't scan down to
ISKHz which means Idat you can't play
games on the 4D00.
Jofyon: This is what the AA display
enhancer was meant to do. It was
going to fix all Ihis, it wouW basifally
be the same as a flicker fiicer.

should have standardised it more from
the start and not left it. They had itie
philpisoplry 'If it ain't broke, don't fix If.
Jofyon: The protjlem they had was
that Ihe A500 had the same chips as
the 1 000 and merely re-packaiged
them in a cost- reduced form. The trou-
ble was that by then all of their Amiga
1000 designers had gone and ttiey
didn't have any of the designs left of
the original chips, particularly the
Agnus chip, which they had to totally
reverse engineer in order to upgrade
them. The ECS Agnus chip included
only a minor change to the original
Agnus, yet they had to go back down
to the electron photographs of the
chip's surface to work out what the
bloody thing was doing i
Ben: I think what we might se» is that
Commodore as a company doesn't
sun/ive, but that the Amiga might stilP

eginners are otters advis&d to l^iink of a hard
' drive as being just one massive floppy disK.

I While tills analogy certainly helps to aljate

)he natural tear of something new, il can also &eive
to blinker your outlook. There is quite a lot ol com-
puting that is, quite simply, not practical from iloppy
disk, so if you think of a hard drive just as a big
floppy disk you could he missing out on some very
special softwaie, This soltware usually gets
pigeon-holed under ttie general heading of Hard
Drive Utilities and ifs easy to assume that this sim-
ply means partitioning and formatting software,
back-up utilities and so on.

But there's much, much more. And it doesn't
cost thai much ^t all. \(\ fact, every progrann Tm
going to discuss is either freeware or shareware
{or PD software if you prefer to call it that),

Unless I spedfiealiy ^ay so, assume that you
need ai least Workbench 2.04 to run any ol this
softv^are, If any of il is Workbench 3 only, I will say
^a. ir you are still using Wor^tienc'h 1 .3 on your
hard drive you should consider your position very
seriousry, Most current Amiga software, especially
PD software, will not run under Workbench 1 .3. or
else it vifill be crippled in some way because it uses
features of the later versions of the operating sys-
tem, If you want to make the best use of your hard
drive you need to upgrade youif operating system.

FMSDISK

I'm going to start with a utility tliat might, at first

glance, seam rather pointle&S. it's called FMSDisk
and it enables one or more parts ot your hard drive
10 act just like a floppy disk. It works with all ver-
sions of Workbench.

Having FMSDiskQr\ your hard drive will enable
you to duplicate a PD di$k much more quickly than
copying it hom one floppy drive to another, If this
disk is constantly beirvg updated, it will be quicker,^
and mucli more convenient, to work witti a 'virtual'
floppy disk on your hard drive rather than with a
real one.

i'

One of the teettning problems with moving from
floppies to a hard drive is that many programs are
supplied on disks that look in certain places on cer
tain disks kir certain files, But it can often be easier I
to Dtskcopy entire distribution dislits onto several
FMS disks, {Up to 32 of them can be mounted at
any one time.) Because FMS Disks are seen by
the system just as if they were flopiJy disks sitting
in iloppy drives, anything the software Is looking lor
on any particular disk will always be where it
expects to find it.

FMS Disks work mudh more quickly than floppy
disks, but nowhere near as fast as the hard drive
actually wo^rks. However, if you are regularly hav-
ing prot>lems with program^ not running from your
hard drive because they haven't been properly
installed, FMSD/sfr can be a great temporary solu-
tion uHilil you learn more about how hard drives
work and how to install software onto it by hand,

NEAT AND TIDY

Keeping your hard drive neat and tidy can be a
slog. The bigger your hard drive, the bigger the the
daily grind of keeping things in order. No matter
how much you try, it seems impossible to prevent
hard drive Injm collecting duplicate files all over th«
place, particularly if you have several partitions.
Deleting these duplicate files i$ best done by
fiand because there is always the chance that
despite two or more liles having the same name,
Ihey might actually be different pnograms or data
files. Best to check first. But searching for duplicati
tiles using the command line or WorHbench is a
stow process. Best to leave it to the software to do
that. That's what GMan does, which is short lor
Gafb^e Man. There's no icon to click on, so you
have to use it from the command line, but ifs a
simple command which requires just a pathname
as a parameter - somelhing like ■QMAN
WorkiDocs' lor example. Any duplicate files it
finds in the specified path will be listed in the
Shell window. If you want a permanent record,
I B,|~ you can always use redirection - 'GMAN
"'^ — >PRT: Work; Docs' lor example, which

would redirect output to the printer
device, thus giving you a hard copy of thi
gory details.

To investigate and delete the dupli-
cates there is r^o better tool than a
directory manager. This type of program
can be thought ol as a command line ttn
has a graphical user interface, which is i
contradiction in terms but is the b«st
description I can think ol. they normally
give you at least two windows which list
the contents of directories. You can did
on the names in the list by using the

Because it is so small and tairty eas^ to sel-up,
DirWofk is probably the most popular shareware
directory manager (although itie aging SID\s also
still widely u&ed, particularly by those who have
stuck with WorkbSFich 1.3). The yp-and-coming
Star of the show, though, is - for
some strange reason - called

the freeware demo version does
not allow you to save the set-up -

SAFETY FIRST

Keeping the data on your
hard dnve -safe is obvi-
ously important. No
matter how careful you
are. at so-rrw point your
hard drive is going to 'go
down\ which could result
in the total bss of ail the
flies on your hard drive.
Back-ups are the answer,
and while they might be
tedious to rrake, you
have no riglit to complain
about losing flies if you
have not made bad^-ups,

Two PD programs ttiat do the job adequately
are: ABackup and BackUP. Both are every bit as
trustworthy as commercial offerings- the words
Maxwell and Robert come immediately to mind.
Bad back-ups that reliuse to restore are almost
always due to poor-quaiily ttoppies. Thai's why it's
always best to make two or three back-ups, just in
case. Although neither ABackup or Sac^fi^Pis
whal you would call fully-featured, tor backing up
to Hopples there's no need to spend more.

If your hard drive does go down, re-formatting it
and restoring a back-up isn't your only option,
there are tools which may t>e able to 'fix' the prob-
lem. DiskSatv2\s the PD king of this castle, and is
a superb piece of software thai no hard drive us$r
should 'be without.

Another must-have is ReOrg. Because hard
drives are so big and because you are conlinuaily
saving and deleting (iles, data tends to get spread
all over the disk. Large flies often get fragmented -
instead of the whole file being stored in blocks one
after the other, bits are stored tiere, there and

everywhere. This doesn't stop ti'vem from running
profieriy, the operating system handles fragmeF^ted
files perfectly well, \M. if it has to look all over the
drive in order to load a Jile, it will take longer to
load than a file of the same size that has been
stored: in adjacent blocks. ReOrg reorganises or
opflmises the files on your bard drive so tJiat they
can be loaded as quickly as possible.

The latest version (3,1) is ar>othersupeiib piece
of shareware that equals anything that is commer-
cially available.

There are various PD programs that are not
specifically hard drive programs but are much
more usable from hard drives. Workbench 3
users will know about datatypes,; those wonderful
little programs that enable the single MultiView
utility to sing, dance and make the tea.

A datatype Is provided for standard Amiga
ILBM pictures, but many u$ers want to view GIF,

three are available.

AS the CD3£ has been on sale
for a iittle while now, we con-
tacted the major retailers 1w
"ejr opinions on how well it's been

■eceived by the public at large. Most
■najor chains have already taken the
■machine into slock. On& notaijle
^jfception is the Dixons group i*tio
have rtot yet made a firm decision.
Cold feet, perhaps?

Those companies that have
.umped onto the bandwagon are
JOSufprisingly enthusiastic about the
CD32's selfing potentiaf. Don Carter,
Chairman of ZCL (wlio rnanage indt
direct Mai! and the Caiuulus stores)
spartJCLilarly^ vocal, 'The first ship- '
men! we received dfdnt have tfme to
collect dust. Over 1 000 units were
(Jespatched via direct mail orders or
to our retail outlets. The second ship-
ment behaved in almost exactly th$
same way. TTie^e may sound lilte
good figures but they're merefy the
diehard Commodore fans purchasing
another Amiga. When ComiTKKlore's
marketing cannpaign comes on line.
ihen we'll really see the sates begin-

nrng to flow,'

Silica's Andy Leanfng is also quite
forthright. 'Commodore don't aduaJry
need to sell that many CD33s to
■Tiake a profit. It's not the same with

yi

the MegaCD which mus
quantities to do well,
think the CD32 will out
MegaCD, It still needs
u(ar software thougli

The chain stores too are gushing
in their enthusiam for tine CD32.
Andrew Allan, Games Product
Manager for the Comet Group, is very
excited; 'WeVe taken the CD32 ir>to
all of our stores and given it a pcomi-
nenr display. Compared to the iwega
CD, initiaf sales have been tremen-
ctous -tlie combination of price point
and improved specifications has given
it a great boost.'

Rumbelows, too, a<ie behind the
itiachine all the way having already
promised it prominent window dis-
pJays in their stores up and down the
country. Their Press Office stated
that, 'The C032 is an exciting new
development and the initigj sales
have been very encouraging, Short
term promotional pJans invoFving soft-
ware deals are planned to add value
to the product m the near future.'
Despite ail these vocal praises
every retail outlet I visited harf rKit
really made much of displaying the
hardware. No one had a decent demo
running, even of the two games sup-
plied. One shop had their CD32 half
hidden by a huge post which was, in
turn, behind their sales counter -
making sure no one «)uld get near it.
When a CD32, with blank screen, is
stuck nestt to a Megadrive deiTKjiir>g
the latest colourful blaster, how can
they expect sales to flourish?

So what aiaout the horse's mouth,
or Co/nmodore as they are better
known? r asked David Pteasance,
their Joint Managing Director, about
the quantities of units they are ship-
ping. Unfoftunaleiy, he was unavail-
able for comment despite over a weeK
of phone calls from myself. Oh well.
It's still going to take $iome time
before anyone can really confirm
how well the machine is selling.
Perhaps the true te.st will come when
there are a few more software titles
available - until that tin^e general
games consumers, as opposed to
Commodore diehards,, are not going
to show much interest-

FIHD MYSELF

As tar as the plot is concerned, there
isn't much there to write home about.
Oscar has had all his Oscars stolen
[the small golden statues) and scat-
tered about the sets of a collection of
dlr-ns, seven or nine depending on

contains all tbe nasties and enemies

Oscar has all the makin-gs of an

So, using your lavouhte juystic-,,
what do yau find. A very sluggish
game, that's wtiat. Oscar is trying to
be a fast paced action plattormer,
but fails miserably due to ttie
abysmaJiy slow controls. Sure, you
can belt all over ifie screen, but jusi
try to lime s jump when you're run-
ning at full speed!

As I've already said, it's A very
colourful game. Generalij^ there are
over one hundred colours on screen
at any one time, with the main sphte
taking 32 colours, the panel at the
bottom of the screen taking another
33, a sixteen coloyr baokdrop, a six-
teen colour foreground anrf o'i/er4(i
more making up the copperiist in the
back. It mighi sound \/ery nice, but fl
causes horrendous problems.

Take a iook at any scneenshols
on this page, and see how easy i1 is
to make out friatforms and enemy
sprites, i-l isn't. Everything loohs very

es, we did review this inour

recent CD but we though!
that we'd give it artother
showing now that's il's being bun-
dled with the CD32.

If you don'r already know, or
haven't read the highly over- rated
reviews m certain other magazines,
Diggers \%. Toby Simpson's attempi
at blending s i-emm/ngs-sty1e con-
trol method and a Bouid^njash
-style fock game, with a thick help-
ing of creamy d&licious wargaffie
i strategy, II didn't work for John
I Mather, and to be honest, ii doesn't
I really work for me.
I Vou control a team of five dig-
gers as they explore the barren
. wastelands of Zarg, a planet rich in
! minerals and gems (at iea$t, below
; the surface). Using a pop-up icon
; panel, you have to send each dig-
i ger down into the ground,
! collecting gems to a prestaled
: vafue. white trying to avoid enenfiy
■ diggers and all ihe usual ghosts
\ and ghouUes you find under the
j soil.

Each digger has a limited
I armoury of actions (walk in a
direction, run in a direction or
j dig in a direction) and these
have to be utifised lo get you
to gem hoards as quickly as
possible. As you make

money, you're able to buy all sorts

of gadgets to make your life easrer,
but that doesn't help you in the
beginning.

There are quite a few things I
don't like about this game. For a
start, the controls are very slug-
gish, and in a lot of places the
diggers' responses are illogical and
gnpr@d'otab1e.

Telling a dagger to dig down and
to the right doesn't always mean
that he'l! dig where he is. He might
walk to the left a couple of screens
before he starts digging, or he
might rrot dig at all, regardless of
what's below him. '^ou can't scroll
about the map, so you have no
way of telling where the digger is
heading, and (he size of the icons
rTiakes the control fiddly at the
times when you need to move
instantly.

Sure, it uses the CD sound well,
and there are some very nice intro
and ouiro screens, but on the
whole it's a game that jusl looks
tike a rush job, 3*

Mitii and playknji CAr<l t>lrd!S,

They've rrtilked rt and n^ilte^ rt. I
it's been oci av-ery single Tt^st^
ever released, ana ihEs padded
: am costume has seen more often
■ an the Jurassic Park trailer,
"".ankfyily, all' these thJngis can be
irgiven as Roiwcod is still one ol ' "■
" e best platform games ever written,
Witlri that in mind, rt comes as no sur-
pcise that the second tale of F.I.5.H."s
highest paid agent Js one ot the first
CD35 titles, and like eveiy oPier ver-
sion that has appeared, it'$ am
absolute stormer!

You shouldn't need any introduc-
tion to this Super Ma/>o-stylB

platformer, so f
won't give you one.
All you need to
know is ttiat it was
incredibly playable
and addictive when
it fir&l arrwed on
She scene, and
now it's even bel-
ter. It has eight
new levels wHh far
more on-screen
colours.. As you
would expeot. Ihe
CD versicn is sim-
ply the AGA
version! With a fflw
FT- ore befis am wnis'.les.

Firstly, of course, ttie sound has
been upgraded aornewhat, with
seven tull tracks of digital audio
music playing through the game
alongside the now familiar spot
effecls. Afso, a tult online twok has
been rrcluded, giving you afijit ttis-
tory of F,|, 5.1-1. ar>d all its agents. This
booli is interesting for a few minutes,
bul not absoiulely necessary. What
impressed me most, however, were
the few miinutes of rull-$creen car-
toon animation .at the start of tl^e
game. Eacl^i frame has been hand
drawn and then scanned into an art

package. The end result is a
little grainy, looSting some-
where between Dsn^ef
Mouse ana an early Mickey
Mouse flick, but is impres-
sive none the less,

When ail is said and
done, Ihoughf the game is
■much the same. To my
mind, Robocodw'\\\ alw^iys
been one ot the finest
Amiga platform titles, and is
most definitely something
that should sit on every
CD32 owner's GO rack.

LEMMINGS

RSYGNOSIS £39.99 OUT NOVV

What computer format could
ever hope to be complete
without a versiion of
■^Brnmings. The idea t>ehind the
game is so simple that it's surprising
that no-one beaE Psygnosis to it.
You need to gukJe your little green -
haired iemnjings through a series
ot too caverns strewn with dangers
and obstacles. Each o( your
iBmmings can be made to perform
simple tasks, such as digging or
climibing, and it's by manipul- ating
these talents that you get your little
buddies through the level.

It's addictive. lE's frustrating in
places, maddenin-g in othe'rs bul
always fyn. As playable as any other
version, bar itie fact Ihat the joypad
could never be as responsive as the
origin a,l mouse control. Lemmings is
a must buy. However.
Don't rush out tooK-
ing for Itie CD32
version of
Lemmings -i\
doesr^'t exist.
This is the CDTV
tfigrsion which
runs perfectly on
the CD32. Worth

CU AMIGA AMIGA OFFERS

cu

Tike advantage of these

special offers. Not only are

we offering some of tlie

clieapest memory upgrade

offers anywhere, we've

also added a hand scanner

tray and OCR software to

the product range-

Welcome io our rww lc©K
reader's offers pages, This
month sees the
launch of a new oifer tor spe-
cial hand scanner tray and
opHical character recognition
software. Also, we continue the
memory upgrade range
designed and buirt in Itie UK
eKClusively for CU AMIGA,
Never before has upgrading
been so affordable.

Hqiw can we be soooo cheap?
Well, thanks to the huge success
these very ofler pages and our
exclusive deal with Go Direct we
have control over ihe latest manufaG
turin*g technologiy to produce the
upgrades - which means exceplional value for you.

So why upgrade your momory^ probably
because a memory upgrade is the most versatile
enhancement you can make to your Amiga, Apart
from Ihe fact that you need it to run more powerful
Amiga software there are many extra benefits too.
You can lise som^ of It as a RAM disk, just like a
superfasl extra floppy drive, This means that you
can avoid the cost o1 a second external floppy drive
or hard disk.

There's even some software thai, even though it
diaims to need a hard drive, will run tnom this con-
figured RAM. A print spooler can save you lime
waiting for your printer to finish printing t>efore you
get on with your work and you can use your new
RAM to do Hiis instead of buying a more expensive
printer or a oostiy bufler.

To get more from your Amiga you n&ed at least
1 Mb. To get the best you need as mu-ch RAM as
you can buy.

intro

The public domain is
indeed a wonderful
place. Where else
couid you get your
hands on top-notch
software covering
every imaginable use
of the Amiga, far /iisi
the price of a disk and
a stamp?

ThlB is your gutd& lo all the best tvie
public domain has 1q ofler, and It couW
actually save you thousvniiJB of pounds.
VVhalher you're^ Into games, demos,
groptilcis, music, video, prog ra mining or
whatflver , you'H find plenty of flssenllal
additions to your software library, and
your wallet won't even notice the
dlfferencel

WHAT IS PD?

Pubtie domain software (PD) is a Strange
corcepl ift today's money-grabbing world,
Here's how it worte-

Prograjmrrwrs, musidans and aniists

develop software, often tof their own use
initially, and then instead of selling it tor the
kind of prices you'd eiepecl to pay lor
commercial software, Ihey release it as PD.
TfTis [T>eans that they give permission for
anyofie to copy Ifw software as many times
as itiay like, a™i gfve it lo ais many people as
ttiey see tit. So what do the devekjpers get
out o1 this? SaCslactiofi Irom the knowledae
that other people are using their software,
and respeet,from Am»ga users woddwide.

It sound like a crazy idea Ihal would never
*wjrk, bul it does, in (act. Ihere are now many
thousands o1 PD pr-ogramis, games, demos
and files circulating the globe, m^ny of wtiidi
are actually superior to their commerciai
counterparts.

PD also has a few olf -shoots, such as
Licenoeware and shareware. Licenceware is
like PI3 in that it's cheap, but the dei'elopers
get a small cut on each disk that's soW
(pertiaps 50p to E1). Licenceware is
copyrighred, and it's illegal to copy atvd
distribute this wtlfrout authorisation.
Shareware is often used by developefs who
want to make a bit of money, but are
prepared lo lei others test the programs
before sending any money. Shareware
' regislration fees are usually about ES, for
whicti you can expect to receive an updated
version of lt>e software with more leatunes,

DEMOS

Demos are strange things. They're a unique form of
entertainment - coitibmati ons of sound and graph-
Ics specirically designed to impress. Some are
impressi¥e purely because they do things that are
supposediy impossible, white others just look and
sound great. The best are a combination of Umth,
which is just what we've got for you here.

Using revolutionary new techniques, it really is

Whal you've gol is a fairly short rave demo

The good news is that Ihe muSH; is an axdei-
lent DJ mix ol various funi^y house records. The
basic graphics are synced up to (ti@ music, and
even though they're not technically stunnirtg by a
long shot, the timing works well. There are Iwo
main mixes, both quite lengthy, and a g&od irttro

Still, this is definitely one to get your mils on.

HOW TO SKIN A CAT ^

Keeping in the relaxed theme, Meton Design's
uncomfdrtably-titied How to Skin a Cat is a demo
from a quietly confident team who don 'I feel the
need to write boring scroittexts about how many
points they've got on Iheir reaJlime vectors.
Instead they let the sound and pictures do the
talking. Jelly vectors, blurred 3i:>dot patterns, and
more vectors are on the menu, along with some
bimk-and-yDu'li-miss-it AGA support.
CynostrC, no. 0013S.

MONOXIDE

A dark bussing teclino soundtrack is the back-
bone to this One from Vanish. While Itte visuals
vary Irom exceilsmt to tedious, Ihe music carries
the demo admirably, with an Inosssant pounding
b6al and bassline, and some choice supporting
samples. Played quiet, it's not mind-blowing, but
crank it up {arid pustu Ihe bass lo max], and
you've got a right stomper on your handsf
17 Bit, no, £345.

ClAUSTROPNOBIA

that's official I ClausiTOphobia has some of the
bisS examples - I could sit and watch itvese for

Anyone slill hungry foe more hardcore demos
should check this out without lail. If you didn't
catch il when it was on the Seplemtser 1 993 CiJ

it's an esiremeiy intense combination of fast

lEGAIIZE IT II

Breaking away from the prBdominerKe of tiard-

Dore and techno. Anarchy's Legalize it II brings
togather eight very clean jazz-funk tunes. The
slapped basses and tscight dmim sampfes are
way ahead of most demos in terms ol sound
quality, and the tunes themselves are really
rather nice. There's also a neat front-end that
acts as a menu.
1 7 Bit, nos. 2330 * 23a0b {IWO disks)

SUBTIE SHADES

Abstract have got togelfier a good seHection of
"flavour of the month" effects on Subtle Shades,
and the end result isn't hall bad. Some retro spin-
ning coloured balls gat things started, then it's
straight on with not one, but two inter-snaking dot
tunnels. Alter Ifis blobby scrolltext, it's time for a,
pulsating ameoba-iike thing, that pumpis and
morphs around the screen lor a short while.

A dot ball, which turns into a Michelin man, is
followed by a neat (irelly efted, then a classy
bitmap rotational zoom on a porirait of a
tJtadonna iookaiike. A little cameo of Batman
brings the whole thing to a close.
Cynosiic PO, no. DCI19S.

JESVS ON Es

Rarely is a demo released that provoices sudi a
response as Jesus on Es. Its a 2>disk rave denw
that lasts for about half an hour. The soundtrack
is an excellent rwn-stop mix of typical "i^S
breakbeat hardcore, and Ihe synchronised graph-
ics include spooky animations and abstract
colour effects,

While most "oonsumers' quite rightly hold it in
high esteem, there's a bit of a sour g:rapes atti-
tude from some of the other demos coders who
think a demo is only impressive il it's technically
innovative. Wake up boys and girls - who gives a
lofts if it's got six million bobs on screen at once,
so long as it looks and sounds good? It's the end
result that counts, and ihe result here is supert}, If
you've got an external floppy, there's no excuse
to be without a copy of the most kickin' dento on
the scene.

6 AMtGA GUIDE ANIMATIONS

ANIMATIONS

Full-scr^«n animation eats up a lot of memory, mo
many of the belter examples neerf extra RAM to
run. These days it's rare to find a ^ood animation
that fits in a 1Mb machine, and many cain demand
as much as BMbsl An extra floppy drive is atso a
big help, as most anims come on more than one
disk, and loading can otherwise involve an enor-
mous amount of disk-swapping. Time for an
ui^grade perhaps?

AiCHiMY ^

This nearly went into the demos seclian, simply
bacause <l doesn't confomi to Ihe usual animanior
standards. It looks like a tiackers demo at hrst,
but thrDuflh the use of some clever techniques,
mduding (ractal landstap&s, vector graphics, artd
custom -written scnollina routines, it chronicles the
adventures of a pilot of the future, malMng his
escape from Darth Vadei's Empire.

Due to the attamative animatjon technkques.
Alctiemy has a completely diMerent style to ihe
maji^fity of ray-lracwJ cr cartoon animations in the
public domain, and it's pretty substantial loo.

HEADING FOR HOME

Short .and s*eet. Heading For Home is a finely
detailed ray-traced sequence from one ol the
public domain's new stars, Craig Collins.

Vou won't find miich of a plot, but (hs graphics
are pretty good all the same. What you Va got is a
liltla spasestiip (a sort of 21 st Century equrvalont
of ttie Renault 5}, whicli is just embarking on a
trrpdown to the local branch ol Sainsburys. Well,
I til ink it's supposed to be a spacestation actually,
but what's to say that Sainsburys won't have
branches in space in the 21st Century?

Evan though it's ashorfie, Heading For Home
is a good example ot how crystal dear you can

get your ray tracings without the aid of an expen-
sive 24-bit graphics board.

that just about everything is animated in some
way. Tlie more you look at rt, the more you see.

From the animator responsible for ihe Raging
Hormone cartoon, Can It stars Alvin Aerosol in a
curious Irttte adventure. Starting in the bethroom,
Alvin tries out his insecticide contents on a fly

THE AD

It's that man Craig Collins
again, this time with a rather
difficult tota4low midi-liliTi,.
Crank up Ihe contrast con-
trols to max, and you should
be able to make out what's
going on in this ray-traoed
anim that's verging on epic.
Whatever the plot, it's a roister-
doisterirug sequence of action
scenes set in deep space. Lots of
explosions and spaceships are on
show, and the level of detail is very
impressive. Worth watching through a few times
to get some idea ol what's actually going onj

out the Iniipend-

then thinge start
to go horribly
wrong. Using the
old sticky
magiwtlc symbols on the chart turns out
to be a bad Idea, as the clouds and suns
tall to the floor. Then ihere's the date at
the top of the screen, which lands on his

It's not a map at all - he is in fact
thousands of feel above the ground. On

tet's be frank for a second or two. The public domain doesnt
have anything to rival the big paint packages like Deluxe Paint or
Brilliance. On the other hand, there are some areas where the PD
versions are as good as, if not better than, the top commercial
offerings. For just a couple of quid each, you can pick up disks
capable of mcrphing, generating fractal landscapes, image
processing and video editing.

Almosi as soon as the lechnique cA moiphmg was
developed flfi multi-million ckiilar computer
systems, it nitared rlfiht down to PD level. The
best ot these was, until very recently, VMoiph,
wKiicli you may have Icomwtieni it was included on
a coverdisk of the August 93 issue ol CU AMIGA.
The original was written wilh AMDS, and has now
been re-wrilten by another pfograrimer using
assembler, who has changed its name to
Minimarph in the process, The main atlwamtage ol
Ihe re-write is it& immense iricrease in speed ever
the AMOS original.

image into another ovef a specified number el
Irames. instead at simp*^ fadir>g one into the
other, it ashs you lo define areas ol the first
image that relale to simi-
lar areas of the second.
For example, it you had
two faces, you would set
up an outline of one eye.
then do the same on the

so on. You'd then do the same with the ottiar fea-
tures, not lorgettifig the main outline.

Once you've finished, you can tell the program
to work oiH asnti draw the frames in between, Ttia
resutl is a smootti transformation of Uie lirst image
into Ihe seccrtd- As a Itind ol iponus side effect,
you can warp pictures too. It wortos in a similar
way, e>!cepi that the lirst image doesn't become

movad and stretched into their new locations,

Mrnfmogprt is very fast - in fact it's probably the
fastest morpher there Is, commercial or PD.
Needing no more (han a few secoivjs to render
each frame, It encourages eMperimentafiOTi. If you
make a mistake, it doesn't matter, because you're
not going to have to leave your Amiga rendering

MANP 2000

Vying with Msfrdelpfoi tor the tide ot top PD frac-
tal generator, the PD version of f^snd2000is
also a reduced release, upgradable to the full
program for a few pounds registralion fee. It's
mainly the excellent zoom feature that makes ih.is
one stick out, You can use th& mouse <o Eoom in
on any part of the fractal, Which is then redrawn
instantly in a chunky form. When updated In high
resolution, You can use this to gel straight lo any
part ol a fractal, and also lo lest out aoom anima-
tions, which it handles very smoothly indeed.

^ MANDELPIOT i.4.

There are fractal gatterators Jay the buckelload in the public

domain, bul most are very slow. Mandelplot 2 A is a cut-down

but still very powerful eiample, and what's more, it's one of tlie

fastest. Of the many 23 fractal aSgorythms available on the reg-

istered version, the PO reiease has ten for you lo choose from.

Thera-'s an awi ul lot you can do wiih the basic algorythms

too.You can choose between 2D and a number ol 3D modes,

generate zoornifvg animations, and tweak all manner of^ other

knotjs in order to gel somettring different. Even thougti it's one

of the fastest, most of the more elaborate images do take quite

a while to render, hut the results are wom^ the wait.

The controis are operated simpiy from a point-

mitE ROSf FONn

Bitmapped fonts are extremely versatile. Unlike
scalable ionts, bitmaps can be used for video
titling and all manner of other graphics applica-
tions, as well as DTP. It you start expanding
bitmaps you'll start to get jagged edges, but even
these can be cleaned up if you have a little time.
This ■col l&ction of bitmapped fonts is one of the
best around. They come as low-res colour iFFs,
although you can of course use them in any reeo'
lution you (Ike. No less than 51 different fonts are
irtduded in the whole set (yes that's nght, Si I).
Anyone into ^deo titling, or just graphics in gen-
eral, would do very well to cheoR them out.

3D OBJECTS

Clip art has been arc
years, so why 3ttouldnTir>e wo
ray tracing get in on the act? These Sculpt
JD files are an excellent way ol saving
valuable time that would otherwise be
spent designing and tweaking new
obfecl;s. Rendering your scenes and ani-
mations takes long enough as it is, without
you having to spend even more time cofl-
strucling objects..

To be honest, tlie objects included on
the disk arenl stunningly exciting, but they
are <unctmnal. and it's the more oi'cfin,^ry
obiects thai are the least fun to design
anyway, so in a woy that's a pUis. There
gje three categories: furniture.. s)reet
objects, and a set of can rson- related items.
In the (umiture section youll find a (our-
poster beti. a chair, a mirror and a lamp.
The street directory is home to a lamppost,
traffic lights and a signpost. As yoy'd
expect, the cannon section has a cannon,
along with a bucket, somp cannonbaHs
and a ramrod.

To give you an idea of what they aciu-
aliy look like, three rendered scenes are
included on the disk as IFF tiles. 3D clip
art IS quite rare, boih in the PD ar*d com-
mercial sectors, so this is well worth
looki*T9 up - you never know when you
might need a 30 bucket:

Believe it or not, your Amfga, whether it's anything from an
A500 to an A4000, is capable of stunning audio feats. In fact,
you could write a hit record on your computer for no more
expense than a few quid! i kid you not! All you need is the
right software, Ifags of enthusiasm, and the rest im up to you.
Even if you just want to tinker about with strange noises,
make your voice sound like a monstert or create some sound
effects for a game, there are plenty of bits of PD that are
more than up to the job.

Thare ST? limes wlwn you might ror wan! a ^
full-Wown s&qiiencer, wirh all the compllcalions
that come witN one. It you just wani a drjm
irnachilne, X-Ba^t Pro is a good choice.

Tlw layoul is very simple - so simple in fact
Ihai anyone can p»dk it up ard instantly start
knocking out somfi \ms,\s- The main editor
&cn&en gives you tour wisiWe tracks (or you to fill
with drurns artd bass. Different sounds can b^
used on ths sama track, se yoir carr use more
than four samples, even though you can only
play (our simultaneoysJy. Tlier& are' 29 dm m
samples btjilt in to the program, giving you a
fairly wide range of kicks, snares, tiigh hats and
a few percussion sounds to play with.

To pick your sound, you simply click on the
name from the menu. Vou can browsS' through
the nenu Just dFd^ing an the sounds to hear
lliemv and' one* you've got the one you want,
it's back to the editor screen. Now you can
ptonk your rtKythin dkjwn on Uw track with the
mouse, and hit Hie play button to hearii, Once
you've got one part down, you can gH3 and
choose another sample, and put another rhythm
on another lrad(.

There's also a tsasslire generator too, which
incl'udes three bass samples, This works on a
similar principle, giving you atrto-octave
keyboard on screen, which you use to tap out
iha bassline with the mouse. You can either
enter the bassline in step time, or record It in
realtinte. IE really couldn't be any easier.

Even though there are quite a few samples
on board, X-Bsst lacks the facility to load in any
new samples. With the addition of this feature
(which will no doubt coma with a future
revision), X-SeaJwill be an essential tool/toy for
anyone who iihe to me^ around with souind and
Tiusic. Ifi tact it's excellent fun just as it is.

PROTRACKIR 3.1 ^^

The other main player in the tracker Trefd is
Prolrachsr. which tends lo be lavoured in hacking
and PD demo circles, it works along the
principles of OctaMED, butdoesnl have
OofaMECfs notation editing, MIDI suppo-rt or eight
channel modes.

One of the main advantages of Protf-acksr is
that it evolved diracHy from Soundtradner, the

original tracker Ihal started it all off. rnany years
ago. This means that it has a massive following
worfdwide. and althpugh it's not th^most user-
friendly program by a long shot, it's what many
coders and musidans have grown up o-n. Befope
you decide whether to join (he OctaMED or the
Protracker camp, get hold of both and see which
suits you best.
t7 Bit, no, Z441

man'/ chords on Itie menus, tryiing to leani Hm
positions of Ifia notes for each chord, and Itien
enter if>e test rwde to s&e how good you were,
For Itia test, you have to higNight the conf&c*
notes tor the current chord . You do thi& with tlie
mouse, but you can1 actually play \h& ctK)rd, as
you have to clk*L each rwte separately it you
stuck with it long enoogh, you could prohatily
master the basics ol chord Itnwy, and aft&r a

while you might b^^m to under^tar^d what a *C
major 5th' is alt about. I'd rather use this than go
through tedious se^ons of piano tessons amy
day, alttwugh after alj this \ sttlf only know a

OftaMED V2 *

Its a cto&e-run iWng between OctsM£D and
PfDffacfcertor the rriost widely-used
sampler/sequeraier on ttie Amiga, ftul there's
no doubt aboot which is most povwerful.
OctaMED is way ahaad of the competHiori
when it comes Id its sheer numbei of features.
Version S.OOe has just be«n f eteased
oommefcialiy, but if ^ou wan! a taster, version
2 "is availabda for the price of a disk.

OcXsMED \s a sequencer that uses the
standard Iraqkor" formal. Unlike the
expensive commercial MIDI sequencers, the
bias with OcisMED is towards usiing samples
(aven tlnough it handles MIDI very wall
indeed}. The program itself has been Kept
quite- small in order to leave room in the
memory for samples, so even on a 1 Mb
machine you've got room for about MOK ol
sounds.

Like all trackers, it works on a system of
tracks, btacks-ard se*iuences- Music nolatlon
can be used to artar and edit pieces. Put to
use the program properly you have to gat irtto
the initially-confusing block editor. This uses
rumtjers and letters to represent the music,
and although at first it looks horribly
complicaled, it's raalfy quite simple. Moles
are entered via me computer keyboard, or
Srom a MIDI keyboard It you have one
attached:. Melodies and rhythms can be
recorded in real time, but the resolution of She
blocks means that there's heavy
quantisation, unless you Itirn the tempo right
up. The aulo-quantisation is actually very
handi', especially if you're pr&gramm,ing
beats or any other time-sensitive parts.

There's a sample editor built into the

program, so if you need a new &gund, there's
no need to load up a separate program to do
Ihe sampling. All you do is switch to ths
sample editor, set up a Wank space, and
record straight into it. Then you can trim and
edit the soitnd, and in next lo no time you've
got yourself a new sample to integrate in(o
your ei(istir»g tune. Treble filter and boost
controls are also found here, which is usefui
for adiusting the EQ on your samples.

Sytithesisad sounds are also possible.
Syrvth sounds are produced in real time by
Eubjectiftg basic waveforms lo various
oscillations- Thase sournd pretty awfuli in
gan-eral, but it is possible lo get good results
il you slick with it far long enough.
CombinaUons ol samples and syrthsounds
can be interesting too.

Ofve of the most Impressive features is
OctsMEU^ ability to play eight samples at
once, instead ol the standard four. The price
you pay is reduced lempo confrol. fewer
available effects commands, and quite a drop
in sound quatity (although this isn"l so bad on
accelerated machines).

The trump card as far as many are
conCBTned, is the MIDI support. OciaMED
combines MtPl and .samples vary neatly.
Setting up inslrumenls for MIDI is a very
simple alfair. and you can use up to 16
tracks. For many, OctaMED is Ihe only
sequencer powerlul and flexible enough to fit
the bill- Thts should have a place in the
collection of every Ajni^a musician. A save-
disabled demo version of OcSaM£D 5 is also
available as PD.
Season, OctaMiD 2iOC^t*BS> &

SUPERSOUND 4. 12

Another one that isn't strictly PD, Supsr&oiJfid is
nof»ethalass just as cheap, and what's more It's
better than just about anything you could find in
the commereial'sectOF. The main program is a
sample editor. You can also use it to sample
new sounds, either in' rnpno or stereo,

What niakes Ihis such an essential piece of
software is the massive range of editing facilities
on offer. Most editors give you a few affects
(mayte a flanger and an echo), but Supersourtd
has racks of them, all wailing to transform
ordinary samples into killer sounds. On lop of
tha usual phasers, echoes and passable
reverbs. there are unique effects such as X-Flip,
which reverses aiternatB sections of Itie wave,
various waah effects, distortion, filters, tsaosters,
acfossfade mixer for maWng instrument sounds
easier lo loop, and a centralise (unction lo
counter the side effects ol heavy filtering and
phasing.

There's also an excellent inteiitgent looping
Facilily, which instead of just seeking oul two ^
points where the wave crosses the "laro line',
attempts quite successlully to find loop points
where frie wave is similar at both ends. Precise
ediling is no trouble, as you can work on
sections as small as two bytes.

To round itolf, Ihere's one otthe best reailime
effects processors also included on the disk.
The Bealfime Effects Generator (TREG)
includes various proflrammed and user-
definable delays, phaser, fiangers, vibrato,
pitch-shifters and robotic distortion options.
Used in the right way. the quality ot these effects
is good enough for professional use.

Supersound is a two-disk set selling at PD
prices (^4 for tha pair}, and should be at tha
front of every sample-liend's disk box,

Probably your best bet for a spreadsh&el,
Easycalei\v95 up lo tfie implication of its name. If
you've used awkward spreadsfieets in the past,
this should come as a breath of ffesh air.

As well as being very simple to use, thanks to
the combinaliort of the menus and the general
poiirtt-artd-click interface. It's also very fasf. tj runs
just about as fasf as you work, so if slyjuidin't

'6AMES

GAMES

With prices &i gam9S riming all ffid time, the PO Is
an oasis of eh«ap and chearful antertainmenL
Placability is the priority Itere, and witfte you
won't Hnd many sraplticat stunners, there are
sta&ks that'll hav* you wagsttns your stfck into
the small hours.

CUSSIC CONVERSIIHIS

Om o1 iti6 tmst things about the PD gamas
scene is that yau can get your hands on all
those old ol^sskcs that no commHrdal
davel-oper will convmrt. In a lot of cases, there
art many d^tlerent versions of the sbitw
original game, so jfou can find the DsferKt^r
clone that suits you down to the groundl On
with the show-,.

DONKEY KONG

Ttiis is a game snd a ha(f. The original platftMrn
gam&„ Ihe one tinat introduoed Mario lo the world,
has come across to the Arnica almost periectly.
Bignomia have carried oui the conversion, and
paid great attention to all tl>e little ttelaHs of llie
old coin-op, so the gamsplay is pretty much
idenl^csi-

Vou get the original four l^ivels, p(us an esctra
ore if you can collect all of the bonuses on ftie
other levels- This is such a close cjopy that (he
only difference I can find is the trick abput waiting
at Ihs top ol the ladder with your hand just
teuctiing the girder, which shduld stop an/thingi
coming down on lop of you. Mow that's pretty "
pichy I'll admit, but as (iial's about Ihe only
diflerenge, it just shows what a good Job the
Bignonia boys have done, Exoaiient, essenlial,
and all that stuff .
Ground Zero, ao. 0169

ClasBte e*nv»t fton't come iny mott claamlc Ihin OeffKty

PO^PEYE

Artottiar conversion from Bignania, this is a
cartxsn copy of the 064 oonversinn of Ihe coin -op
(of the oanoon, of the comkiotc...)- The original
was a three-level piatf firm game, but this version
has an extra one thrown in lor good measure.
As with all of these old coin-op conversions,
the graphics aiS' tiny, and the sound effects are
merely blips, but the gamepiay is still there. It's
not in the same league as Donkey Kong, btit
that's just down lo the original game. The
conversion is spot on, so lans of the original
should gat their copy without delay,
Cynosllo, no. GQ2CI6. ^^^

SPACE INVADERS

•4U

MaTOROlA IHVADER5 II

A more frantic alternative is Motorola
leaders. It's an AGA-only game, and
maJKes use ol the eittfa speed, memory
and oslours ol the A1 200 and 4000 by
using loads o( spril^, coiourtut backdrops
and a massive sampled soundtrack
sampled irom Metallica.

Unlike the old Spsse tmaOsrs. thftse fall
itom the sky when you shoot Ihem, and WI1
ycKi if they hit you. Instead of lining wp in
neat rows, waiting to ba shot, they begin
swarming around the screen like flies,
gradually getting closer to ihe ground.
Once you've deared one lot, Ihey regroup
inlo a niew formation, and come at you
again, and again, and again. Metal fans
will go for the ascslientiy sampled
soundlrach, and anyone else who likes a
good hard zap should find enough to get
stuck into. J

Cynostic, no. G0211 "%

AHIOEBA INVADERS

For real Space Invaders action, this is the
only choice. The gameplay is virtually
identical, afid so are the graphics- For
once the programmer^ have got the alien
sprites exactly as they war& in Ihe old
coin-op ■ even Ihe sp<aceshiffi are just the
same.

It's ore of Ihose conversions that lets.
you use nearly all your old tricks, like
picking off the invaders from Ihe top finst,
and leaving one in iha end row lo speed
:nirigs up. The sourKi elfects are a Utile
(Jifferent, hut just as good, with a nice
bassy noise when you stioot an alien. '\/ary
nice indeed.

TETRIS GAMES

GIGEIt Tfntll

Tetris spruced lip Wm HR Gjger artwork Js what we've got here.
Unlartunaiely ihera doesnt seem to be joystick cortnol option, and
playing ft from tte arrow kej^ is a b«t on tl^e awkward s-ide, Tha
backdrops are nic*, and the music is different - a fairlif reaSistic sounrtng
classic piece, which Js probably quii& nk* lit yov like vkalrns and that.
Virus Free PD, no. TET13

HTIHSPfrO

This one's the better o) tha two, ncl only because it has joystick
control, but also because of itie handy feedback you gat from the
sounrfeffe^cts. It's all rice and clear, so yoij're never in two mfncJs as
to whether ihat block is lined up exactly over Che gap. Tlie grid on the
background helps keep it all nice and neat.
Virus Free PD, no. TET07

KMATiWOIUM

This rates about 8 out of ten on the stupidity factor. The liile
suagesls it's a bit strange, af»d that it certainly is.

You take conJroi of Karale Worm, in a kind ol pink and iwriggty
cross between Manic Miner and a &ruce Lee lilm. Being rather
deprived In Ihe old crahial region, Mr Worm has only managed lo
master one move; the flying kick, However, armed with this one
deadly Wow, you have to dear each screen of lesser karate worms,
whilst avoiding Ihe nasty green crawly things, ir this was Radio 1, I'd
probat>iy dascribe it as 'absolutely bonkers mate I", but this t&n't radio
one, so I wont.
Dfskowery PD, no. G231

fV5rEJH4

Veri^ professionally presented, this is an eKceFieni variation on the
Q'B9fj therne. As in ihe old coin-op, the idea is to bounce ground
Ihe isometric aD screens, tilling in all the squares by touching ihem
all. Nasty bouncing aliens are out in force to Stop you. That's about rt
for the gameplay, but even though ifs an extrem^fy simple game,
the different le'i'af designs help to keep the i merest level up. There's
3 good arcade -like (e^i to the v^hoig thing, arid the two-player mode
can only axtend its appeal further slill.

GNU CHESS

Chess games are prelty rare on the Amiga, aspegi^iiy
ones Ihal leature menus of the moose family in their
names Untortunaieiy for wiidiile fan&, there saem to be no
Gous al all in this game, b»Jt at least th& chess has be«ri
pF&tty w&ll done. , ^, ,^-

Thera-s rto messing around with llie keyboard for this
one - it's all controlled from Ihe mouse, Just click on the
piece you want to move, than click on Ihe destination
Muare selett Go-I trom the menu and Ihat's all you ne«d
to do The compjter skill levels are based upon how much
thinking time it gets, sq H you have enough patience, H can
play quite a mean game-
Ground Z»ro, no. G2222

TMHSPUHT , ^ .

This has to be the best shoot 'em up in Ihe pubic domain, as
usual:, it's prelty toasic ss far as gam&play gees, tJut It doesn t
half play well. It's a bit like Asteroids, but instead ol your ship
flying aiQund lt>B screen, the whole play area revolves around
your ship This calls for some nifty manoeuvring on your part,
U you keep track of Ihe aliens at all tim&s via the scanner
that's overlaid on \hs middle of the screen. Yoj're never short
of fifBpower, and ifte aliens coma at you thick and test. To
cap it all, everything runs really smoothly. This has everything
a good zapper stiould (including asumultareous two-p(ayer
mode), arid should not ba missed on any account.
ALPHAPD, no. 13S

Kl RUNNER ,^ , „ ^,

Anyofte who rerrtembers Lods Runner mW be instantly at
home with Ic6 Hurrnsr. The graphics have Improved sirfie Ihe
monothrome slick men of me original, but the gameplay is
still pretty much the same.

Tlii idea is to rid the level ol all the aliens. To do this, you
need to hack holes in the ica with your axe,, and then entice
■ the nasties to fall into your traps. Once you've got them all, a
Ladder appears as if by magic to take you oH to the next le^/al.
It's quite a bit easier than the original, and the graphics are a
lot bigger, so it'll probably go down well with the younger
gamer&.
Ground Ziero, no, 021 6. ^

BOUHCI AND filAST

Wow this really is snmething a
bit special: a real commercial
quality game doing Itie PD
rounds, Okay, you wouldn't
expect to find it selling tor
£25, but it's easily up to the
standard of a lot of budgiet
games.

It's a standard tiorizontally-
scrolllng platlorm game in the
Mario rrwuld, wilh some
excellent colourful sprites and
backdrops, and Ids of varied
levels, There are some
irnlatirsg flaws in the level
design (such as the way you
can"! avoid taking hits in ortier
to shoot the baddies), but lor
thepriceof adish,thisls
superb value.
Ground Zero, G183

WlftBlE WORID GIDDY

Yet anotfier commercial-quality platfomi
game, Wlbbis World Gj'dciy borrows ideas
If cm the Dizzy series, resulting in. a very
slick arcade adventure.

GitWy himself is a blots with massive
hands, who walks around Wlbble World
wilh a eonstanl grin on his tece. Around
the Beano-style parks and streets, you'll
oome across Winja Turtles, spiders and
seagulls, all ot which are out to get you.
However, you will fiT>d some Iriends. and
it's these that you'll need to help in order
to get ihrough the levels, Brilliant cartoon
graphics and smooth animation round of!
one of the best PD games available,
Cynoatic PD, no. G0112.

HEILZONE A.

Decent PD shoot am ups are pretty narJ
to oome by. so it's a real treat when
something like He^teofW crops up, Base
on games like R-Type. it's a mean rigt"
left scrolling zapper that runs at a smoc"
50 Itames per second.

It's got all the bells and whistles: pterty
of weapon upgrades, snaking alien attac*
formations, lots ot different enemies to
splat, spooky levels arid booming sour.-;
eltects- Gameplay-wise it's pretty hot tc;
far from easy, but itot so difficult as to be
overly frustrating. Good stuff.
Qrqund Zero, 0133

ICD DREAMS

A quaint trip back Ib the days of LGD
games, this disk has conversions of four t*
the leetter known hand held games: Fira,
Octopus. Oil and Parachute. The gamrss
have gained colour in the conversions, but
other than that they're almost idenliical. Fiy
added authenticity, you tan play with the
keyticiard, jt^t as you used to with the little
buttons on the originals. Well worth a shot
for anyone with a sense ot humour.
17 Bit, no. 2356.

ASSASSINS
COMPIIATIOHS

special mention must go to the
Assassins gardes compilations.
Tbay were up to volume 129 at the
last count! On average, each sir^gle-
disk volume contains three garnes,
so that's nearly 400 games in the
cdltectionl Assassins disks are
available from most PD libraries,
such as PD Soft for example.

DIY

IT YOURSELf

One of the great things about PD is that absolutely anyone can
dBveiop a piece of software, and retease it into the public
domain. Even if you have have no programming knowledge at all,
you can still create your own demo, music disk, game,
slideshow, multimedia presentation or whatever takes your
fancy. All you need are the right toots and a good idea, and you
could be the public domain's next big thing.

updated to include
menus, making (I a
lot easier to use,
Yqu'II need
sometliing like this
10 create the
"README" files on
your disk, in which
yiDu can put any
not&s and messages
about the disk.

For games and
demos, you coulid
really do with a
sampler, or at least
a sample editor.
The sampler isn't
essential, but if you
have a sample
editor, you can
customise your own
SiOund effects from
existing iFF sample
Ijles in the public
domain.

An alternative
copier is also very
handy. The copier
included with Workbench is a pain to use if you
only have one drive - something like DCopy
Willi greatly speed up your disk duplication.
These are the absolute basics, bul unless you
can program in C or Assembler, you're also
going to need one of the fallowing software
development packages,

OEMOMAKER

This isn'1 actualty PD, althougti most PD Itbraries
{unaware of this fact) stocked it untii fairly
recently. It's still available from a few of the
smaller PD libraries.

As the name suggests, Demomaker is a

TOOLS OF THE TRADE

Whatever kind Of software you decide to produce,
there are a few basic tools you're going to need.
The first thin^ to son out is a paint package. Even
if you don't intend to include loads of flashy
graphics, a paint package is always handy for
designing icons, title screens and so on. Defuxe
Pain^is the ideat choice, but if you can't stretch to
that, you can get by with someitiing like Uitra
P&srft{^&& the Graphics section in this Iwoklet for
more info).

Then there s a text editor. WorWoench comes
with a text editor called ED, which is very basic on
the 1 -3 Workbench disk, but has since been

program that lets anyone create their own super-
slick demos, It includes all the clever code for
impressive effects such as plasma, 3D rooming
teid, bobs, sinewave patterns, vectors and loads -^f
variations on the spectnjm analyser trick, All you
need (o do is design your graptiics with your paint
package, write a tune with a tracker, and design
your effects from the main Demomak&f program

Each of the many built-in effects is variable in a
number of ways, so by adjusting things like
speeds, coloui^, sizes and so on, you can come
up with almost an infinite number of new effects
If you cafn't be bothered to design your own
graphics, you can use the sprites, fonts, logos
and bobs that come with the program.

Stringing all your effects together into a
coherent sequence is simply done. Each effect
has a. time parameter, which determines how long
it'll stay on Ihe screen before moving on to the
next one in the se<iuence. If you use this well, you
can even make your own synchronised audio-
visual demos, with the graphics changing in time
with your Sounofffacfter-created music, Your fina.
demo can then be saved out to an autotkooting
disk, ready for distribution around the PD networtt

TRACKERS

A tracker of some soil is essential if you're writjng
a demo, and at the very least is handy for game
development. If yOu want compatibility with things

like Demomsk&f, you're ttest going for
Noiseif acker, Startfskker or Protacksf.
Othenwise it's worth taking a look at OctaMED.

Any of these can be u&ed to create music
demos. If the tunes themselves are good enough
they'll stand up on their own, so loads of flashy
graphics areni essential To make a simple
musk; demo, all you need to do is get something
like Menumaker (see Utilities section), and set up
a few buttons lo play your tunes. Remember to
include the player program that came with the
tracker, and that's all there is to it.

AMIGA GUIDE 27

Another supei* bft of development software that appeared on a CLf
AMIGA coverdisk (April 93} is AMOS, It's based arounid the prog ram ming
language BASIC, but whereas BASEC is no u&e at all tor writing games or
demos, ihese are exactly the areas ifTwtiich AMOS specialises.

You will need some prOigramming expecierKte if you want to dive straiglit
into AMOS, Anyone who has used BASIC wii have little trouble getting to
grips with it though. All of the normal BASIC commands are here, but what
maKes AMOS special are its sound and graphks commarnls. These allow
you to move sprites, bobs and backgrounds, about the sdreem with relativie
ease. There's aiso support for just about every soundtracker you could
thiink of, induding MED, OctaMED and GMC

Many a decent PD game has been written with AMOS, but it's r^ot
limited to game development. Serious software also benefits from its
power - the excellent SuperSoundlor example (see Music section} was
created with AMOS, Unless you ptan to get into C or Assembler, this is
the next best thing. Used irv coFijundion with the AMOS Compiler,, it's a
very impressive package indeed. Remember though, this isn't PDI

SHOOT 'EM UP CONSTRJCTION KII ^

Probably the most powerful game creator there
is, the Shooi 'Em Up Construction Kit iSEUCKi is
3 gamer's dream come true. Everyone has at
least one game idea knocking around in their
head, bui without the programming knowledge to
FKJt it into practice, it never gets any further than
the imagination. With SEUCK, you can put all of
those ideas into practi.ce.

Absolutely no programming experience is
naeded for this. In lact, you don't even need any
of the alorementioned text editors or paint
packages - everything you need lo create your
ideal shoot 'em up is included on the two disks.

There are basically three types of zapper you
can write with SEUCK: a vertically scrolling game
along the lines of Xenon II or Spy Hunter, a static
screen game that could resemble anything from
Beserk to Gaiaxians, ar>d a "push-scrolling" game
such as Commando,

The best way to figure out how it works, is to
load one of the demonstration games, and tinker
around with its sound, graphics, attack waves and
other parameters. The main areas are selected
from a system of menus. These then lead to sub-
screens, from which you can design your sprttss,
animate them, draw out their flight paths, and
stick them anywhere on the level maps. You can
also build up your own backgrounds and define
the siie, scrolling spaed and length of aJI your
levels. Each object has its own definable
characteristics, such as speed, tire-rate, strength,
points, sound eflects, animation and so on.

HYPERBOOK ^

For the more serious PD disks, it's
worth considering Hypsrbook. which
was given away free with the
June 93 issue of CU AMIGA.
It's a very intuitive program that
allows the creation of
multimedia presentations,
and general front-ends
and menus for other
programs.

Using a very fhendly
system of loons and
menus, Hyp&fbook has all the tools you need to
create your own poini-and-click interface for just
about any application you can think of. You can use
It as a simple text reader and picture viewer, or
create complete (hyper) books with it. The
possibilities are endless, but the most obvious
include things like disk m.agazines, program
selectors, educational presentations and so on. It
you have a 2.04 or higher Amiga, you can malie
use of the ARexx support, and attach certain
buttons to ARexK scripts.

Whatever you come up with, it's bound to look
very professional, and with the ioon-orientated
system, it's almost impos-sible to create anything
that isn't very user-friendly.

DISK MAGS

DISK MAGS

Disk magazines are the voice of the PO network. Much quicker
and cheaper to produce, magaxines on disk are also far easier
to distributef making their way around the globe through pttone
lines and PD tibraries. Covering a vast array of different
subjectSf the ever-growing band of diskmags cater for just
atiout every Amiga user. Check out our selection to find out
which is best for you.

AM/fM A.

AM/FM Stands for Amiga Musician's Freeware
Magazine. It's edited by Bjom Lynne, who
contributes articles and soundtracks every issue,
Articles include reviews of new music software
and hardware, album reviews, tutorials, opinions,
prcyfiles of po<p stars and bands, and tips on usinig
existir>g music sottware and hardware.

Along with the articles, you also get a selection
of tunes. These are picked from readers entriesj
with originality being the main criteria, so you're
guaranteed to hear some interesting stuft,
Whenever possible, PD sound and music utilities
are included too. The interface was written by
Tel jo Kinnunen (ttie programmer of OctatAEDi.
and pulls the whole thing into an aocessible
onjer. Supplementary disks are released fairly
often, which can be devoted to s-amples, utilities,
or anything else that the AM/FM team think is of
Interest to the readers. This makes a good read
for anyone into Amiga music,
Cynostic,

GRAPEVIHE

Tfi'is i-s (he nuflfiber one
"scene" mag. It's put together
by Pazza and Shagratt of the
coding team LSD. A lot of the
articles are about various
topics being raised on the
demo and hacking circuit,
most of which is written in
coder-speak, with countless
references to "lamers". For
coders, these scene-related
detiates and articles can be
interesting, but others may not
find them such a stimulating
read. However, there are also
tons of articles about all
manner of subjects that have
nothing at ail to do with the
Amiga. Most of the mag is written by the readers,
which is a nice way to do it, as this means you
get a wide range of opinions and viewpoints.
Flipping through the hundreds of articles is easily
done, thanks to a neat and simple interface.
Issues normally eome on three disks, and as you
can imagine, there's always plenty to foad.

SiUKID

Suidcid is now a year old, and gaining itself a
substantial following, Along the lines of
Grapevine, it's a mag produced by characters
from the demo scene, with over 1 00 articles on
just about everytfiing under the sun, plus some
bits about the scene itself. The producers are
quite proud to have recently roped in the much-
respected Red Sector Inc. team to spruce up the
appearance of the mag, and add some opinions
of their own. Once again, lots to read for the boto-
copper-plasma-zoom fans-

TKI FINAL FRONnifi A

You guessed it, this disk mag is devoted to the
Star Trek. It's a bit Of a big 'un - issue five comes
on four disks. For Trekkies, it's a little goldmine C
trivia, chat, news and grapfiics. It's a haven for
many of the 3D renderings of the Enteipriso that
keep coming out the woodworl^, and there's
always plenty of lively debate on everytlling fron-
what brand of hairspray Kirk uses, to the maiden
name of Spook's great auntie.

If you've missed out on a rece-nt convention,
you'll usually be aijle to catch up on what went or
through the coverage in the mag. This will include
digitised photos and accounts from those who d*d
get to attend, and it's not uncommon to find
quotes and interviews from the Star Trek cast. Nd
Trekkie should be without a subscription,
Cymoistk.

CKANKEt.Z

The first Al200'Specitic disk magazine, Channel
Z is a combination of articles and software. It's

written from the point of view of a user, rather
than a coder, which Is good as it doesn't alienate
iMginners and the less technically
knowledgeable.

The first issue is a bit short on features, whicti
is understandable, as it didn't have any readers
until nowl

Even so, it's tx>und to create a great response
firom coders and general A1200 users alike,
many of whom will wan! to voice their opinions on
different aspects of the machine On the software
side, there's the excellent Retina Euro 1 demo
that was included on a recent CU AMIGA

eighi "languages" included are: two-handed sign
alphabet, deaf-bJind sign alphabet, one-handed
sign alphabet, braille, semaphore, flags. Morse
code and naughts & crosses code.

Ctear simple graphics are used for the sign
languages, with animation where necessary, You
can get the program to show you the sign for any
letter of the alphabet, sign out a compJete
sentence, of even read a document from tiisk
You can also turn the tabJes, and get the
computer to make a sigrt, which you then have to
translaie. The same system is used for all of the
other languages. This is a most impressive
program, and one that should have a place in
every school.

ECOLOGY

Everything you ever warited to know about

ecology, but didnt really want to know after all
No, sorry, ihis is actually a rather nice three-disk
twok^presentation type thing created with
Hyperbook. It couid do with more graphics, but
whal's there is nice.

STAKVIEW

We've just had astrology, and row weVe got an
astronomy program. What it does is pretty clever-
youenterthetinie,date,andyourcLinrent
longitude and latitude settings according to where
in the world you are (or where you would Ifke to
view the stars from}. The program then has a
iFttle thmk, consults its book of stars, and plots out
exactly what you'd see if ycnj were to look
skyward on a clear night at that time and place.
Rather than just filiing the screen with dots, it
highlighte notable consteliations and any visiljle
planets. You can then "turn your head" from side
to side by scrolling the view from left to right, if
you feel the need to pick out a particular
constellation, you can enter the Find mode. This
gives you a list, from which you pick your
consteilation. If it^s visiJjJe from the current spot, it
picks it out for you. This is a must for all buddino

UNDSCAPE

Have you ever wanted to design your own
garden [or anyone else's garden for that
matter)? If so, then this could help you
find oul what works and what doesn't
before you start messing around with real
piant pote and flowerbeds

As the author describes it. Landscape
is a sort of poor man's CAO program. In
fact it's more than that - in the right hands
it could be quite a usefuJ garden design
tooLYou draw the garden in 2D, marking
out areas of lawn, flowerbeds and so on,
then yoM can place trees and other
features wherever you fike. To see what it couid
look like in real iife, you set the program
rendering your garden. It then draws you a full
colour 3D rendition of your design {viewed from
your selected point), complete with realistic
fractally generated trees and plants. You can
then save out the 3D rendering as an IFF fiJe

WORKSHOP

Ttirowing various Dfeluxm Paint ingredients
into the melting pot, Peter Lee comes up
with a movable feast for Amiga artists.
This month's tutorial ingredients Include
some hot stuff - and we don^ just mean
Sherllyn f enn or Cher...

We have t»efl
examinintg-
every facet
o1 Deluxe Psint over
the past eight issues. H
has t>&&n like ad the
pieces of a jigsaw
falling Into place; ones
you know how lo con-
trol the basic functions,,
you can link them
together to increase xhs
prografn's power ten-
fold - and at the same
time make your artistic
dreams spring lo life,

This month, well be
continuing our tu>torial,
featuring animation
control and brush mor-
phing, We'll also show
you how to use both
these features for
excellent results.

Like Tony Hart's litUe plasticine pal Morph, OPaint
iVs morphingi facilities let you change one thing
into another, DPaint takes one tttush, and over a
nunnberof user- specified frames, converts it to
another brush image stoned in memory.
Sometiimes it works briiliantly. other times not. But
it's always worth expefimenting Ijecause the effect
s SO powerful an<t packs sucti huge impact in an
animation. Morph ing creates an new Anim
tjrushes eadn lime, so make sure your current
Anim brush is saved if you want to use it again,
othenwise it will be replaced.

To ex&euie a mofph, you must have a custom
brush. There is a limit to size/resotutiom/'EOlours o1
this brush, so try nol to be loo ambitious as it is-
annoying to keep getting 'brush toojjig' mes-
sages. Remember, DPa/nf has to keep tjoth
brushes in memory, as well as any animation
frames you may have, and it also needs some
workspace and room to keep any new Anim brush
frames it will create,

Once you have selected a brush, you can
access the Brush\SparB\BruSh->Spare option.
This m^es the current brush ihe spare one. With
this safely tucked away in memory, you can rww
clip out a diflerent brush image.. To ensure a

smooth transition, this brush should b& around the
same size and use the same oolour ranige as your
first brush, Once you tell DPairftio Create your
transition by clicking on the Brush/ Metamorph
option, it asks you for a number of Anim brush
frames to malw the transfoimiation. You must t>ase
the number of frames on your minimum require-
ment measured against your memory resources
It's no good having a massive 30-ceH Anim Bnjsh
created il your set-up will onfy allow you 20 frames
of animation. Plan ahead and avoid disappoint-
ments. Once DPainigeis dug in to corwerting the
brushes, you may as well find something interest-
ing lo read- II can develop into a lengthy process
because there is a fot of maths to work out, and s
lot of data to adjust. But once completed, you are
presented with an Anim brush, hopefully of stun-
nir>g devemess. You can use this new brush as
yo'U would any other Anim brush.

Tip - Keep oop^es of your start and end
brushes before metamorphosis, as DPaW has a
hat)it of losing' these, You will find it invaluable to
add two ejftra frames to your Anim. bmsti, the origi-
nal brush at cell one, and the secondary brush as
the final cell. To 'do this,, create an animaWon with
two more frajries than the number ol your Anim:
brush, and Anim paint your Anim brush down from
frame 2. Posilion the original brush in Irame one,
and the secondary brush in the finaf frame. 1^ow
pick up the Anim brush again.

Yoii wiH than have to load in an animation using
Ihe pull-down menu options, Don't be pul off by the
blank screen wtiich appears, there is a menu t>ar
hidden at the top, and you access it by rrtoving
your pointer to the top of the screen and pressing
the right mouse buttor*.

Interestingly: again from WorHt>ench, but
u&ing the extertded selection mode. If you have an
Anim icon on, screen (an icon rspresenting one of
your saved animations), you can press the Shift
key, click on that icon, and with your finger sUII on
Shift, dick on the Flayer icon twice. This will run
Player, wilti your selected animation already
loaded.

Cleverly: If you are tiappy usinQ ttie CLI
{Command Line Inrerface), then you can run player
by changing to the directoiy where it lives (od
disk:directory), and typing Player.

Automatically: from a tjootablg disk, which fias
an S directory and which contains the lile 'start-up-
sequeno©'. All this file need' contain is Uie
command 'player anim. name' where "anim, name'
is the name ol your animation file. But one really
useful opiion IS Ifie ability to run a script, containing
several sequences one after the other.

You will need to write your script in plain test,
using either a wonj-pcooessor which can save
work in A^cii lomnal (which is standard text), or use
the Amiga's Ed editor. To run one se^iuence alter
another, you simply create a script liie, and on
each fine write the filename of the Anim sequence
you want played, In addition, you can add what are
called switches' after the filename. These control
the length of the playback and the number ol times

the animation, is played before stopping. For exanv
pie, a script could look like this:-

Trek02,artim 20 loops

Tliis plays TrekOI ,anim tor 10 seconds, then
plays TrekOE.anim 20 times. One thing to remem-
ber is that your filename should have its complete
path in the script if it is different Irom the Player
location {e.g. c:Anims/Trek01 ,anim}. In .addition,
the Player can also disptay single pictures, so lor
example you could have a title screen as your first
image, then go through a script automatically.

Finally^ actually using Player is just like control-
liing your animation from within DPsiint. Here is a
list of ils keyboard controls and what they do,
happy animating '^^

diting IS that vital ingredier>l which transfomis
a good video into a brilliarti one. Look at any
TV advert and you'll $&$ that there can be up
to 30 cuts (or char>ge of shot) in any minuie-long
advert. These cuts are vital to th& qaatity of the add
and maintfiinlng the cc]insuiiief''S interest.

So, how can you turn your Amiga mlo a video
editing mactiine? There are many options for turn-
ing your Amiga into a video edil machine, but I
want to look at Video Di rector which is one ot the
cheapest options. Video Director is a, dedicated
controller and at El 20 and is wide-ly availaWe from
reputable Amiga stockists. Video Director consists
of software and two special cables, One cable
controls your camcorder and the other controls
most Infrared remote videos.

SO VnUT DO I DO?

To use Video Director your camcorder must have a
Control L' or Lane' socket which is present in most
Smm and Hi-8 machines from Sor>y, Sony clones
arid machines from Canon and Sar^yo etc are corn-
patible. However, I haven't seen any VHS or
VHS-C camcorders fitted wrih the socket and
unfortunately Video Director is noi compatible with
ttiR 5 pin edit sockets found on machines (rem

Plijtnlltlactio VIdw) draclDr. You 'Cut' ■ clip fnam Ihis ilttt ana

The software oonsisis of several utilities which
set up the main program lo work with your cam-
ewder and VCR. The control signals vary from
camcorder to camcorder so you have to configure
your main program by selecting the afipropflate
driver file. Wot every variation of camcorder is
listed, so you might have carry out lest runs to gel
the system to work with your camcorder. Although
my Canon A2Hi was not listed, t found that the
high end Sony driver, in lad, worked. I also found
that the rritore expensive the camccrdei',. the better
the control. Some basic camcorders only allow the
minim urn of OOntrol through (he Lane socket. This
means that the editing process with Video Director
gets a bit slow if the program can't put the cam-
corder into fast picture search. That is not to say
that it does not work, it's just that it is ncrt as fast as
a camcorder wpth more features.

The video output side is controlled by the cabte
with the infrared transceiver. There are no stan-
dard control files, but you create your own using
the starKJard remote for the machine. To do so,
you run the utility and [Mint the remote at the
transceiver, whilst pushing the command keys as
requested.

To get the best from your target video, it miusl
tie able to work as an edit machine. It needs to
^ave thtrkg-s liike record pause and flying erase
•■■::, -J ds to get a good result. This rules out the^ very
cheap VCRs because even though they will wortt,
the results may only be a little better than 'Cras^ii
Editing'.

Crash editing is a term that describes the sys-
tem for manually editing a video. First of alt, you
oue up the source machine and put it an pause,
then you find the place where you want the soane
inserted on the target video and put that into
record pause. You then release both the pause
buttons and hope that a successful edit occurs

One of the reasons why crash editing can te
difficult to get right is tjecause of the pfe-rofl on
the video decks.

A pre-roll is the time lag which occurs baloiv
VCRs Start to play or record a vkteo signal. Pra-
rolls are different for every model of VCR. Victoo

DirectDir has a parameter that you can set, which
allows for pne-foll in diflerent To set up this
parameter you record a picture of a clock with a
second hand as you edit the tap<e. You adjy&t Ihe
pre-rall parameter unlil ihe recording starts
exactly wliere you s&i the start of the cUp.

That really is the only painful part of getting
Video Director set up once you tiave loaded the
correct Lane file set the infrared control and
adjusted the pre-roll, the system is a dream. It
can identify any number ol clips on any number
of tapes, depending on the capacity of your disk,

The operation involves viewing your cam-
ccrder tapes and identifying itie dips that you
want. It stores a record of the clips in a database.
You can then paste Ihese clips, in the order you
want, into a script tile lor the whole production. It
allows you lo define a set of clips as a scene and
so to build op a coherent story line.

You can then print this file lor reference. Once
you tiave a story line built, Ihe asBemt>le oom-

mand takes Ifie tapes ar>d outputs ihe clips, in the
order you want, to the target VCR.

MINOR DRAWBACKS

If this sounds all too good to be true, then perhaps
it would be as well to point out a few of the pitfalls.
The system is not time coaled in its basic form, so
frame accuracy is not possible. Having said that,
with a bit of forethougbt, you can get r>ear to 3^
frames accuracy or around a tenth of a second. I
have found that Video Director works best, if it is
compiling clips in a linear sequence down a tape.
For my commercial work I can shoot my tapes in
that way. i arrange it so that I shoot all the scenes
from a location on one ta|>e. This means that as I
compile the finished programme, I am building ttie
scenes up from the beginrning of the origiri al cam-
corder tape. It is possible 10 put special timing

For subsequent clips I sian: shooting with a con-

Timeoode is a system tl^iat is found on profes-
sional video equipment arnj also on some high end
consumer machines. It is an additional electronic
track on the tape that numbers every video frarrte,
which means ttiat you can accurately position the
tape to a specific frame. Whilsl Hiis is useful, the
consumer versions do leave a bit to be desired in
that they are still only accurate to .2/3 frames .

Video Director will also altow you to put static
graphics by way of a GenLock over scenes. This
can be great for transition effects between scenes
or things like captions. It will also conirol our ok)
friend the Digital Creations SuperQen, which as it
only comes in the NTSC format is not much use to
us, OWier makes Of GenLock can be used, but you
tiave to manually control the fades if you want any
effect and the video signal is always passed
through tl>e GenLock in overlay mode. Video
Director creates a blank screen during the time
that no graphics are required.

AU.INAU

At around El 20 Video Director is an advanced ver-
sion of all the dedicated controllers that are
available. Desk Top Video has been likened to
Desk Top Publishing, Video Director is a program
that makes this possible, in that you can cut and
paste video clips in* the way thai you can cut and
paste words in a DTP system. I oould not esdst
without it and until somebody comes up with a way
10 cheaply record video lo disk for editing on the
Amiga, it does me juSt fine I

On that very subject, I attended a trade show
recently, where wonderful MuHimsdia and video
things where demonstrated on expensive PCs,
Looking al some of the presentations, representing
ihe Slate of the PC art, the average Amiga user
would have said "so what", When ihey showed the
demonstration of the PC formatting a disk, whilst
concurrently running a small animation and a WP
program. I nearly fell of my chair laughing. Correct
me if I am wrong, but fiaven't Amigas always been
able 10 do that? '^

Dave Smithson goes once more unto the
breach with his AMOStefOitSs shoot 'em up
game and takes a look at the routines
needed for the parallax asteroid field.

ASTEROIDS AHOY!

As you may rememlj&r from lasl month's
IssLi*, we were tacl^lirig Ihe S4Jb}ect of gen-
erating and mo^/ing the asteroids that ttie
player's ship has to avoid and then and
shoot. In many ways, the code thai we wiH
use is very sirnilar to that required to gen-
erate a parallax starfield. The original
control code for the asteroKis is based
aixiund a very simpie parallax starfield rou-
tine that I wrote a number ol months ago,

So where do we start? Well, before we can
write the code to handle the asteroids, we need a
sprtie bartk containing the imagery lor the aster-
oids, Becau$e of the enormous size of the
asteroids, w& use AMOS' slightly slower blilter
otJJects (bobs) in pfeference to hardwara sprites. If
we wiere to use hardware sprites, we would need
three hardware sprites for every asteroid (each
asteroid is 48 pixels widef). Using bobs also
makes the task ot designing, the asteroids easier
because we can use any part of the screen's
colour palette. As it is, however, the asieroids use
only the fir^t five colours {including ailour '0' which
is transparent).

Drawing a simple rock-shaped object is very
simple, but our asteroids are fully animated so ihe
process is a bit more complicated. Using Deiuxe
Paint {0 draw the asteroids makes this task easier.
All I did was draw a basic ouCine of an asteroid
and then rotaie it 45 degrees 10 generate eight dif-
fereni views of the same shape. After a bit of
touching up, each frarrve was (hen filled in using a
range ol brown shades. T^e resulting eight frames
were then saved onto disk and grabbed into Ihe
AMOS Object Editor using the IFF Grabber' option.

HOW TO OET THE
ASTEROIDS MOVING

Keeping track of eight different aster
olds is quite code iniensive. So, in
order to make life somewhat easier for
yourself, group all the asteroids
log el her into a set ol three data siruc-
tures which you must define at the start
of Ihe program using the following lines
of code:

I

Dim BOCKXFOS < B i , ROCKYPOS j B > , R0CKX3PD ( B J
Global B0CKXP03 .RQCKYPOSC) ,P0CKX5PD

The variable names thai I've assigned to each

data structure make their use self-explanatory -
'ROCKXPOSO' conlains Ihe 'X' screen positions Ol
the asteroids, 'ROCKYPOSO' contains their 'Y'
screen positions and 'ROCKXSPDO' contains their
ticfizontai speed, Each time a new game is
siarted, these three daia siructur&s are filled with a
sel of randomly-generated default values.

The procedure that handles this task is called
INITASTEROIDS' and here it is in the box below;

s^peed for each asteroid gives a good impression
Cif d'Spth as each asteroid moves at lis own ur\\C['

giving a sort of parallax elfect, if you lil^e.

Onoe ttie asteroids have been initialised, the
game starts and the main game loop is processed.
in every (rame the asteroids are updated ;by a pro-
cedure called 'MOVEASTEROIDS'. Tliis pro-
cedure moves the asteroids on thie screen, keeps

End Prac

The procedure starts
by increasing a variable
called 'FRAMECOUNT'
that acts as a wr\ of
deilay lor the animation of
the asteroids, The anima-
tion of alJ the aster- oids
is updated at once if the
'Frameoounf variable
reaches 5. It it has
reached 5, then tbe
'Frameoount' variable is
reset and the animation
frame is increased by
one. To locp the anima-
tion around, the value of
the animation frame is
checked and if il too has
reached a maximum val-
ue (in itiis case, a value
of '9'K then the animation frame is reset to 1 .

Once the animation update process is complete,
the procedure moves on to update ihe pos- (tions of
each asteroid- Every asteroid is handled individually
using a very simple 'For,,. Next' loop Hiat counts
frotiift zero to seven. The loop starts by decreasing
the asteroid's 'X" scfBen position by subtracting the
asteroid's speed (held in the "ROCKX SPO()' array}
from its 'X' screen co-ordinate (held in the 'ROCKK-
POS()' array). Wfien an asteroid mo- ves off the
screen, it is r&set so that it can be used again. This
is done tuy checking that the asteroid's 'X' co-ordi-
nate has not fallen below a value ot '-40'. If it has,
Bhe asteroid's 'X' position is set to 320' arri both iis
'Y' position and spee<J are randomly calculated
again. Finally, the asteroid as redrawn on the screen

Note how the speed of the asteroid is increased
by adding the value held in the variable 'LEVEL' to

increases above a multiple of '1 000' (multiplied by
the current value of the "Lever variable], then the
level is increased by a value of 1 .

Now you have all the codes you need for the par-
alias asteroid field. Note how the asteroids are not
redrawn automaticaillv by AMOS. Each call to the
'Bob' command requires the setting up of the
Amiga's blitter, so redrawing them all would just be
too skm. Instead, automatic bob redraws Sif& turned
oft using the 'Bob Update Off' command and only
when the main game' loop has finished are the bobs
drawn onto the screen 'en masse' with a single call
to the 'Bob Draw' command. Ttiis saves huge

Sadly its time
to say good-
bye to MyBf'
book and
make way for
pastures new. So with
out further ado - in the
fourth and final instal-
ment of his Hyperbook
tutorial, Jason Holborn
extends his database
program with the addi-
tion of 'Delete', 'Search'
and 'Sort' functions.

The pfocess of teaming any complex subject
is often compared to a tong journey Ihat is
ffauQht with trials and tribulations. W©H, if
our look at HyperBook is a joumey , thien we'r©
already well or* our way to ttie train station, Yes
folks, I tiope you've paAed yourciean underwear
because the HyperBook irain wDI be departing
within a natter of seconds. All aboard and 'mind
ttie stepr

If you were with us last month, then you'll
aiready know that we started work on a very simpte
database program thai m^^es use of Hyp^rBoot^s
powerful 'HML' macro langi^age; an y^flexjif-based
prtjgFamming language that extends the usefulness
of HyperBook immeasurably. Many who have had
only a passing glimpse look at HyperBook as a
raiher imited lool, but will be amazed how much
power is locked awsy beneath the surface.
Because HML is ^fl'ejr;f-eased. however. yOij"re
going to need an Amiga capable of running AHexa,
This won't be a pfotstem as aJI Amigas since the
A500 Plus now C0fT>e bundted with ARexx as part
of Ihe Workbench system disks. Even if you are Still
running an old Amiga 1000. 2000 or 500 with
Workbench 1 ,3 (or even oWef), you can still get in
on the act by buyirtg Afle»f separately; it Is avail-
able for £35 from Silica Systems on Ofl 1-309 1111.
in last month's CU we completed the usar inter-
face of our database program and added the first
IwD HML macros to Our HyperBook application in
the form of the 'Enter Reoacd' and 'Edit Record"
macros. The Enter Record macro allowed us to
enter a record irrto the let gadget while the 'Edit
Record macro allows us to edit any record by dtdn-
irtg on its enity in eifrier one of the three ii$t gad-
gets. Now aJI we need are the final three functions:
'Search; 'Delete' -and -Sort" and our Hyp&Book
database will be comptete! tf you fancy adding a
few extra functions, then feel free 10 ejiperiment.
□onl forget that the HypefBook manual is still
availatjie from Silica Systems on 081 309 1 1 1 1 for
El 4.55, Before you rush off to find your cheque-
book, let's get stuck into the next instalmenit

'■'^- First, let's start wrilti the 'Delete
Record' macro. Go up to the ARexx
pult-down menu, select 'Create
Macro' and the Macro Editor will
appear Enter tt» macro in the box in
the top- right of this page. Once that
is done, dick on the Macro window
dose gadget and name this macro
Delete Reoord ,

There's nothing complex atjoul
this macna - it starts off l>y asking
you to enter the surname that you
wish to delete by calling tfie
InputString function. We haven't
actually used ttiis function before; all
it does is bring up a single line string
gadget that prompts you to enter a
line of text Ihal will tje used to locate
and then delete the record in ques-
tion, it requires two parameters; first,
the line of text lo place along the top
of the string gadget (in this case

'Surname to delete' and a second parameter that
contains a default value. We don't actually need
to provide a default value, so this parameter is
kept blank,

'If Macro" then checks whether the user has
entered a strir>g. If no string was entered it exits
back to the main HyperBook stack. If, on the other
hand, a string was entered, we use the
'SearchltemsO' fundion to search through the sur-
name itemlist ('SListOl for the string that was
entered. H the 'SearcfiltemsO' function was
unable to locate the record in question, a short
errtir message is displayed on the screen and the
macro i once again, esits back to the main
HypsrBook stack.

If, on the other hand, a string was found, then
the ful! record details are extracted from the item-
ijst and a requestor pops up onto the screen
prompting the user to confirm whether they wish
to delete this record or not.

You'll notice that the macro doesn't automati-
cally check whether the user clicked on the 'Ok'

tsd

b

gadget (1o confirm the delete) or the 'Cancel" gad-
gel (to abort the delete}. There's a very good
reason for this - HyperBook is intelligent enough
tO' know whether it should contintie executing itie
script or not,

if the user dicks on the 'Cancel' gadget (the
cross symbol). HyperBook w\\\ automatically end
the script.

Finally, the record is deleted ft the user con-
firmed Ihe'delele operation by calling the
■DeleieO' function three times - once tor each
iiemliist.

With the 'Delete Record' macro complete, we
need to attach it to the appropriate button, Movs
the mouse pointer over to the Hyperfioo/c toolbox,
select the 'Edit Object' tool and then click on the
'Delete Record' button once with the left mouse
button and then cHcK again with the right mouse
button, If everything went ok, frie "Edit Button"
requestor should pop up onto the screert, Movi
the mouse pointer down to the action gadgets,
click on ARexx macro" and then select 'Delete
Record" from the list of macros ttiat should
appear.

Finally, dick on the 'Edit Button' requestor's
'Ok" gadget [the tick symbol} and the '^Delete
Record' (unction is complete.

If you fancy testing it, cfck on the 'Delete
ftecord' button and enter a surname that yOu
know is in your surname (temlist,

Now let's move onto the 'Search Record'

maciiQ, If you look very closely at the lislir>g be^ow
and compare- it to the 'Delete Record' macro, you'll
notice ttiat there's very little <lifference,

Ttiis shouldn't come as any great surprise; the
process of deleting a record in any database pno-
gram (whether it's written using Hyper&ook or any
programming language) requires the program to
start by segfctiir^g tor the record.

The only real difference between tl^e two macros
is that the 'Delete' macro will remote the record
from the database. The 'Search' macro, on the
other hand, leaves the reco«J details intact once
tfiey have been displayed.

Once you've entered the macno into the Macro
EditOf , clicK on Itie dose gadget, name it 'Search

Record' and tten attach the macro to the 'Search
Record' butlon in eiicactly the same way as you
did with the 'Delete Record' macro.

O Finally, our last HyperBook database - the
"Sort List' macro. Constdering ttie complexities of
sorting any Ii3j„ you'll be pfeased to learn that
HyperBook takes away all ttie hard work here loo
thanks to a handy functron designed s|>ecificalfy for
the task called 'SortList{)'. ft you were writing your
database using any oitier language, sort three sep-
arate lists so that ihey are all sorted into the same
order would be Ct'^''^ drfflcult, but the 'SartListO' furK-
tion takes care of Ihfe mo - simpJy by feeding it a list
of all the lists that we wish to sort, the furx^ion sorts
the Urst list (in this case, the surname list) and ttien
reorders any lists ttiat folbws in exactly the same
order. As a result, all three lists are kept in tbe same
order regardless ot wtiether the first names or phone
numbers held in the two e)ctra lists start with different
characters from Biose used in One surname list,

Enter the following macro, r>ame it 'SortLisf and
then attach it to the 'Son List' button. Once you've
done this, your HyperBook database is complete, ft
you're feeling adventurous, why not try adding a
coupte of extra functions of your own I "'2-

hod o< pushing your robot ott the desk,
the only way yOu will get it to move is

by using eiedric motors. A smail EK:
motor wil'i onfy need tjelween six and nine
votts 10 provide enough power to pustn a
small Of medium buggy around a tabie top or
Udd fioor. However, we also need to able to
steflr the robot by remote control or it will fall
otf the ddsK by itself anyway, To do this,
you'll need to build a rack-and-pjnion system
as used in a car. You will need two motors;
one to provide llie maini driving force to move
ihe robot lofwards and backwards and the
other to operate the steering £y$tefn.

Or you could position the two motors so
that when one is moving forwards arid the
other is moving backwards Ifie buggy will
spin around on a central axis. Whert both
motors are driving in the same direction, the
buggy goes forwards or baci^wards, By deter-
mining ttie length of time the motors are
operating, the current orientation and posnjon of
the buggy c^n l>e gauged. I must profess to liking
this solution, as I find building a rack and pinion
system a bit of a chore. Also, ttte intierentiy large
tumingi circle is not afways suitable for a small
robot. Of cojrse, you may have a better design lor
a steering system already in mind. Or perhaps you
don't need to sleer your creation et all: you might
have created a robot arm rather thaji a buggy.

Deciding what material to actually build your robot
with depends on several factors. For starters, if
you are handy with wood or nwtal you might be

able to completely fabricate your robot from
scratcfi. Or if you own lots of Wecanrw or L&go

sets you might want to use those. My first excur-
sion into the world Of DIY robotics made use of
Mecanno, which had several advantages. Not only
was it very strong, but Ihe pieces could be bent to
fit around specially-designed parts {motors, elec-
tronics and so on). This time. Cm using Technioal
Lego. Although the kits are rather es pensive they
seem !o offer the easiest way to integrate electric
motors and gearing into the system. Plus of course,
you can get little men with crash helmets to stand
arourKJ and get run over..

oniolf CDntnol.

No matter how you decide to build your robot, the
method for driving the motors remains the same.
The overaSI aim Is a connection scheme which
allows both motors to tfavei forwards, backwards
and in opposing directions more or less indepen-
deniiy. Control over the direction will be governed
by a number sent to the input/'Output port. In turn,
the port will operate the relay circuits we built last
month which will determine which motor receives
which voltage,

There is ample scope for expansion, You may
wish, for example, to provide a twin speed system,
{With a 'little cunning, this can t>e acihieved with
only one' more relay circuit: arrange for the motor
battery supply to travel Hn^ough a resistor when the
relay is in one state, and for the resistor to be
shorted in the other state.

Figure 1 shows the circuit diagram of the con-
nections needed to drive two motors. You should
then check this agains.t the photograph and SOWer
the 'leads as appropriate.

Note that drawing power for the motors diredHy
from the Amiga is not a good idea; not only could
they draw too much current and cause the
Commodore PSU to overheat, but as electncatly
'noisy' components, the motors could cause' ttie
computer to crash. The Least Signilicant Bit (LSB)
ol Ihe InputOutput port. DO, is used to control
power to both motors via the first relay circurt.

In this design, the two driving motors are always
both on or both off. The situation when one motor xp

can however operate in ditfBreni directions (to pro-
vide a spinning mo'«iefii.ent), wliich is what the
second and third relays govern.

Because of thiis 'all or nothing' system you only
need three relays- if your robot requires Ihe motors
to operate completely individually you will probably
need two relays for each motor - one to con.irot the
direction, the other to coniro^ the power

You'll 'need lo detemiine exactly the values

1. S»itch

Adding a touch sensor lo the robot is
probably the simplest expansion you
can make. Get hold of a miniature
momentary pusfi-lo-make switch, and
mount it on the front of the buggy in
such a way that when it collides with a
solid object the switch coniacts are
made. Now connect the switch to the
tnput/Output pod as shown in last

3, Ftil^e counter

When the bugigy is moving around, it sometimes
seems to slip or move too far, If you are relying on

software delays to control how far the buggy has
moved, these errors can soon mount up and belore
long the direction the bijggy is facing and the direc-
lion the computer thinks the buggy is facing are two
completety different things. I've found ihe best way
around this problem is to add a pglse counter to the
drive mechanism, 10 noeasuns exactly how many
rotatkOns ihe wheels make. Pulse oounler^ cost a
couple of pounds, and oonast of a light source and
a light-sensilive device in a small package. There is
a space for something to SWe between the devices,
and in here you arrange for a slotted disk to rotaie
in step with the drive wheels. Now your software
can wait tor, say, 30 pulses to pass for the robot to
move 90 degrees, instead of countirtg to 1000.

4. Pen

Using a fell-tipped pen attached to a solenoid, the
buggy can draw lines or shapes on pieces of paper
ipJace<J on, the floor. The solenoid can be pro-
grammed to move a^^d bo the pen can be raised
and lowered. Very useful if you are trying to imple-
meni a Logo system.

That's about all the hardware I'm covering tor the
moment. The nobof s design is where you can uise
your own ingenuity. If you oome up with something

rushing. Jijst what is it that twangs those inlernal
strings, kickstarts the pulse and tickles the back of
your eyeballs, even when you're stone cold sober?
I'm alraid 1 can' I answer that, but it's no coinci-
dence thai a lot of the most effective dance
records make extensive use of analogue synths.

The biggest difference between analogue and
digital synths, is that digital synths are geared
towards reproducing the sounds of pianos, violins
and other real instruments. Analogue synths on
the other hand, have no sfiame. They're in their
element wfien they're making tar out noises that
sound nothing like the real world has to offer, The
other bfilliar^t thing about them is that they produce
pure waves, which are tops for beefy bass sounds.

TB303

If there's one sourvd that defines acid, it's the ever-
changing burble of the Roland TB 303 Bassline
synth, What makes Hiis so special is the way that
you can set It to play a bassline loop, and gradu-
ally increase the intensity of the sound from an
inoffensive blob to a completely mad, distorted
shriek, and then gradually bring it back down
again, ready for another buiSd-up. The last one
rolled off the production line many moons ago, but
you can sii'i get hold Of them secondhand for
around t500r Quite a lot to pay tor a morvophonic
bassline generator, you may be thinking. Well, if
you can't stretch to that, you can simulate the
efled with nothing more than your Amiga and a
copy of OctaMED.

You'll find a TB 303 sample on one Of this
month's coverdlsks. OctaMED is available from
Seasof! Computing (tel: 0903 850378). If you've
got a 1,3 Amiga, go for OctaMED Versfor) 4.
Anyone with a 2.04 or higher
Amiga should gel hold of Version
5

The key to simulating a full-on
303 attack, is OcfaMED's '19'
command. This cunning littie
devil lets you change the start
point of a sample. Instead of
playing the sample from the start,
you can set it playing from any
point along the sound. Load up
your 303 sample, arwl play it
back wrth the keyljoard. Work out
a little riff and put it down on
track one. Hit PLAY BLOCK to
test It out.

To transform it from a normal
bassline into something a bit
spesh, enter oommand 19 into
every line on the track, then
graduate the values from to 20
(or instance {see figuf& 1). If
you're using OctaMED V5, alii

WARRAHnr WORRIES

®rve recently bought my son- an
Amiga Ai 200 with a
Commodore 1540 monitor which
lie hopes to use for program-
mi ng> writing tetters aryj a bit o1
computer art. However, there
was a warranty card with
instructions inside the box, which said that I
should post the card otf as soon as possible. If I
do not send the warranty card ofl, will I still be
covered by Commodore's on-site warranty?
Mr J. Brown, Bradford, Yorkshire^

The simple answer to this quest lion Is a big
resounding 'no' I lt'$ vitally iimportanl that as
5oon as you unpack your Amiga, yoy fill oul
the warranty registration card and return it to
the address on th« enclosed envelope. If you
tail to send back your warranty and some-
thing does go wrong, you will not be eligible
fo^r on-sita repair. So stop reading this and
post Ihe card off now!

CDCHARACmi

I bought ari AmJga A1200 a few
months ago and I have been
eagerly awaiting the release of
Al200-specific games but, to
date, very few games worth
mentioning have been released.
Now that Commodore have

started shipping the CD32. will software houses

ignore the A1200 and produce AGA games on

CD ROM only?

If this >s the case, is it worth trading my Al 200

for a CD32? If I do, what are the chances of

Commodore releasing a keyboard and disk drive

for ttie CD32?

Jonattian Harding, Bristol.

The lack of AGA-specific games is dfssp point-
ing, especially when you consider that at the
launch of the A12DD, Commodore assured the

Amiga community that over 20 AG A games
were due for release by Christmas '92. To be
fair, there are qu^te a few gai^es that have
been enhanced using the extra colours that
the AGA chip set has to offer, but it's often
rath er d iff ic u tt to spot the dif f e re nee ,

Most games programmers seem content
only to expand the number of colours In the
background's 'copper effects' without actu-
ally increasing the number of colours used in
the game's graphics. Hardly the sortof state-
ot'the-art AGA games we were all hopin'g for!

I think the main reason that AGA games
haven't twen released is because Comm^
odore told developers about the CD32 only a
few months after the launch of the A 1200. In
order to get their CD32 wares out onto the
market as soon as possible, many of the
planned A120Q games were modified to take
advantage of the CD format-

Hopefully, many CD32 games will filter
through to the rest of us. t>ut considering the
extra hardware inside the C032 (the new
Planar' chip, for exampte) I wouldn't liet on It-
Help Is at hand, however. Commodore
have officially confirmed that a CD32 compat-
ible CD-ROM drive will be launched for the
A1200 sometime before Christinas.

The drive {which will connect to the A 1200
via the machine's CPU slot) hits the special
'Planar' chip built into its interface, so you
wilt be able to run CD32 games without any
difficulty or problems.

With this tn mind, it certainly isn't worth
selling your A1 200 Just to buy a CD32. To be
perfectly honest, an At 200 equipped with a
CD-HDM drive is a considerably more power-
ful {and certainly more fle)cit}ie] machine than
a CD32.

Even If Commodore were to bring out a
keyboard upgrade - which, at the time of writ-
ing, they have no plans to do - the A1200
would still t>e far more expandable.

BASIC GAMES

1 ^ I am seriously considering buy-
^<> ing a BASIC pragramming
^^*# languageformy A1200 sothat
'l » I can write games. After taking
' M a quick glimpse at the options
available, it seems that there
are only two worth considering;
AMOS and Blitz Basic 2. 1 have heard that HiSoft
are soon to release versiofi 2 of its BASIC com-
piler, but will this support the same sort of
features as AiWOS and Blitz Basic? if not, which
should I go for?
Denzil Smith, Dundee.

If games programming is your primary con*
cern, then HiSott Basic (even HiSoft Basic 2;
is certainly not the best bet. HISoft's imple-
mentation is aimed fairly and squarely at
Amiga programmers that wish to produce
operating system legal' code that runs under
intuition.

As a result, H's probably better equipped
to handle serious' programs like uti titles and
databases, etc. Blitz Basic 2 can handle
Intuition too, but it's geared too much
towards games programming to be a serious
applications programming took

Choosing betweer^ AMOS and Blitz Basic 2
is a rather contentious Issue. Although Blitz
certainly produces faster code (three times
faster), It's not exactly a friendly language.

This wouldn't be so bad if tfne Blitz manu-
als were weil written, but unfortunately
they're absolutely rubbish I If, on the other

hand, you feei that you're knowledgeable
enough to wade through the manuals an4 fig-
ure Blitz out for yourself, then it's a very
powertui language.

AMOS may be showing Its age these days,
but no one could possibly claim that it's no
longer a worthy contender. In the right hands.
AMOS ifi still capable of great things (espe-
cially AMOS Professional).

Whaf^s more, AMOS is so easy to use that
just about anyone can churn out 'hardware
bashing' code with ease. As a result, AMOS is
definitely the best bet for beginners.

I

I would like to know if any soft-
ware sxi^ls. that will allow me to
covert PICT images from my
Apple Macintosh to Amiga IFF
format, so that i can load these
files into Deluxe Pains 4 AGA.
P. Claudes, Marsallies, France

There are three programs that will do the Job:
ASDG's Art Department Protessionat, GVP's
imageFXand ACS' RasterLink. All three will
handle PICT format files and a number of other
image formats including: TIFF, PCX, GIF and
JPEG.

MONIfOR MAnERS

Having owned an Amiga 500
. ^ Plus tor over two years now, I
L^ have finally decided to treat
I o myself to a monitor. Looking
through Ifie advertisements in
CU Amiga, there seems to be
a bewildering number of differ-
ent types of monitor available. What's the
difference between a 'single scan' and a "multi-
sync' monitor? Also, what's the difterence
between the Commodore 1 084, 1 940 and 1 942
monitors? Being quite a loyal Commodore owner,
I'd like to buy a Commodore monitor. Which of
these three would you recommerKi?
Paul Maslln, Bournemouth.

Amiga monitors come in primarily three dif-
ferent flavours - single scan, dual sync and:
inultlsync. The only real difference between
these monitors is the range of video signal
frequencies that they can handle.

As their names suggest, a single scan
monitor can only cope with a single video fre-
quency, but 'dual sync' and 'multisync'^
monitors can handle more than just a single
video frequency.

Standard non-AQA Amigas are only capa-
ble of producing video signals at a vertical
frequency of 50Hz and a horizontal frequency
of 15KHz. As a result, a single scan monitor
that can handle these frequencies is ali that
you will need.

Even if you buy a multisync, the monitor
will only ever run in tSKHz by SOHz mode. For
your ASOO, therefore, a monitor like the good
old 1094 is definite iy more than good enough.

If you were to buy yourself an A 1200 or an
A40DO, however, then a '^duatsync' like the
1940 and 1942 monitors would perhaps be a
better bet Both of these machines include a
software-based deinterlacing feature that
uses a higher video frequency to remove the
flicker normally associated with high resolu-
tion displays.

If you tried to display one of these delntar-
laced 'DBL' screen modes on a single-scan
monitor, ail you'd get would be a garbled

VIRUS ALERT!

I Ve recently installed a copy of Richard Veldhyis' Virus
Checker 6.23 onto my Amiga 600 fiard drive so thai when-
ever Wurktertch is booted up. Virus Checkeftuns in the
background.

Howev&r, when I insert certain disks (game disks, for
example). Virus Checker informs me thai the disk has an
'unknown booibiock'. [>oes this mean that my gamas have

twcoiTis infected with a virus? The lunny thing is, they still wonk perfectly line

if I reboot t'he Amigaf

Chds Fox, Barry Island, Wales

Just tKcause a virus checker reports that a boot block Is suspecl, li
does not necessarily mean that you have a virus on that disk, Virus
checkers simply work by c^hecking thai the boot t>io^ck gl a disk is in
standard Amiga DOS format.

Many games, however, use their own special boot blocks that inave
to tie presemt in order for the game to load. If you let your virus checker
loose on a ganw'a bootblock, chanc«s an that the game wlK no longer
load.

A good rule of thumb here is that if your games work tine, then don't
touch them. If they no ionger work, however, do not even let Ihem near

., DECISIONS

Having recently come into some mioney,. I've decided lo
sell my Amiga 600 and buy one of those swish new AGA-
based machines.

Being a, bit of a skinflint at heart, however, I must ask
whether it is really worth buyin^g the A40O0/O30 in prefer-
ence to the Amiga A1 200?

How much faster is the A4000? Can I upgrade the
Ai 200 to a similar specification?
Mr. Pang, Reading

Which Amiga you buy depends largely on the sort of things you wish to
use it for. If you only ever intend playing games, tapping out the odd
letter or two and messing around with DPaint, then an AlSCK) fs more
than man enough for the job. With its 68020 processor and massive
2Mbs of RAM, even the standard A1200 Is aimost three times faster
than your old Amiga $D0. Add a 32-bi1 RAM expansion to It and the
speed increase will be even greater.

The A40{H).030 is really aimed at the sort of user that uses Iheir
Amigas for more speed- in tensive applications like ray tracing, desktop
publishing and high end graphics.

The A40QO's 68030 processor runs at approximately four times the
speed of a standard Amiga 1200 (that s over 10 times the speed o( your
A600!).

The A4000 also offers a far greater scope for expansion too, thanks
to its PC-like casing that can accept add-ons in the form ot plug-in
cards. Quite a few of the more spaciailsed expansions such as 24*bll
video cards are only available for the A4OD0, so you may feel somewhat
held back it this son o^ woriK is your forte.

If expansion isn't that important to you, then you can still take the
A1200 up (and beyond!) the performance of th« A^00O'Q3fi. A number of
hardware manufacturers have released processor accelerators tor the
A12D0 based around the 6B030 proi^essor. MicroBotic's new
MBX123QXA, for example, Incorporates a 50MHz &B030 chip that runs
rings around the A40G0'.>'030.

WHICH WORKBENCH?

After months of deliberation. J've finally decided to upgrade
my KicKstart 1 .2-based A5TO (anoient Or what!) to the latest
release ot Workbench. Mosi ol my friends hawe upgraded
their machines to Woakbmch 2.0, but I understand that
even that js now out of date witti ttie release ot Wortibench
3.01 Can I upgrade my A500 to Wofkbisrjch 3.CR if so. where
can I get it and how much does it cost?
George firown, Bradford On Avon

Llnfonunately, it's currently not possible to upgrade any pte-AGA
Amlj^ae to Workbench 3.0 simply because Workbench 3,0 hAs been writ-
ten to take advantage of the AG A chipsat. As a result, Jit's tied in very
clos«ly with the new chip set.

scr&en telling me to use diskdoctor and the p^o-

disk I th$n get a message saying BAD DISK. This
only seems to occur after I have quite success-
fully saved a few files en to thai disiK, When I
©tannine the disk using a PD program like D-
Copy i find that certain tracks on the disk have
checksum errors. Can you throw any light on why
this kee'ps happening?
Charies A^He, S.W- LorWlon.

There are a number of reasor^s why this coutd
t>e happen I mg. It sounds ^s if your intefnan
dieik drive is starting to die, but It could
equally be caused by sul>-etandafd disks. If
you have an external drive, format one of your
disks and then check it tor errors using D-
Copy in drive zero and then repeal the
process u^ing drive one. If both drivea report
the same errors, then your disks are at fault. It
not, then it ntay be time to get out your
cSieqiue book and treat yourself (and your
Amiga) to a new interna i drive. Expect to pay
around £40.

PURE AND SIMPU

®li cannot seem to be able to
make some standard Amiga
DOS commands resident ('CD'
and 'OI'R', for example) so that I
can- access them without having
to insert the Workbench disk
every time, \ am obviously doing
something wrong. Any ideas?
Keith Goodwinr Glasgow.

For any AmigaDOS command to be made resi-
dent, it must have its pure bit set using' the
AmigaDOS Protect' command- if, for example,
you wanted to make the AmigaDOS 'Dir' com-
mand resident, all you'd have to do is to type
Protect c:DIR +p'. Once the bit has been set,
call the Reaident' command again.

iDENirrr crisis

I have recerrtly treated my
A1 200 Amiga to a Fujitsu 84
Mb hard drtve, I partitioned the
drive into two 40Mb partHions
using a copy of HDIooiBoK
irom my old Wofkb&nch v2.04.
The program recognises the
drive as a Fujitsu unit and ii also gets the size of
the drive correct but it classes it as a SCSI
device. Does the Workbench program class SCSI
and (DE drives as the same or will this cause me
problems in the future?
Simon Bray, Welverhampton.

The Installation of the IDE Interface into the
AGOO and A 1200 Amigaa was something of a
bodge on Commodore's part.

Instead of writing custom IDE drivers,
Commodore aimply inodified its existing hard
drive code so that it was toojed into thinking
that It was actually accessing a SCSI interface
rathei^ than gn IDE inlertace. It may not be the
moat elegant piece of software engineering,
but at ieast it works fairly well. This rather con-
fuaing sityation certainty shouldn't cause any
problems in terms of future expansion. Already
a couple of Amiga hardware manufacturers
have released SCSI Interfaces for the A1200
that work perfectly along side IDE drives.

What you must remember is Ihat hardware
manufacturers that are producing add-ons tor
tl^e A1200 know that their hardware must be
compatible with the standard expansion

Ofitlons of the basic A12CC. As a result, the
only real problems that you might encounter
are incompatibility problems between two dif-
ferent third party devices.

I am thinking of uptirading my
Amiga A500 to Workl^ench 2,0. I
have absolutely rto knowledge
of electronics whatsoever. In
fact, lit scares me silly, so \
would have any upgrading done
by a specialist firm. So that I
have some knowledge regarding prices, I would
appreciate it if you could answer the following
Questions:

1. What board modifications, new custom chips.
ROf^/l. etc would I need to upgrade to Worttbench
2.0? Obviously 1Mb of Chip FIAM woutd be nice,

2. Would a ROM Sharef be a wise option to con-
sider? Given my phobia of all things electronic, a
keyboard operated sharer would stop me breaking
inio a cold sweat at the thought of lifting the Ifd on
my machine.

Bernard Bioxham, Newent, Glos,

1. The only hardware modifications thai need
to be carried out to upgrade an Amiga 500 to
run Worlxbench 2.0 is the instailation of a new
Kickstart chip. Modifying the machine to han-
dle 1Mb of chip RAM is a. definite must if you
Intend using the machine seriously, bu<t your
machine wiH still run Workbench 2.0 perfectly
ok without the upgrade.

2. ROM sharers have become somewhat obso-
lete since Commodore gave us permission to
put the program ReloKIck' on our coverdisk. If
you missed that issue. ReloKick Is basically a
program that loads the Kickstart 1.3 code held
on disk as a binary file into the Amiga's marn-
ory and then changes a few system vectors so
that when the machine is reset, it boots up as a
1.3-biBBed Amiga. You'll generally find that
games that don't run under Workbench 2.0 will
run once HeioKIck has been installed.

MODEM MISERY

I've just treated myself to a
Supra 2400zi internal modem
card lor my Amiga 4000/030
but despite hours of frustrating
experimentation, I still can't get
NComm to recognise it. rve
tried using different phone
leads and I've even tried plugging the modem into
a different phone socket using a very long (BT
approvedl) extension cable, but still NComm
refuses to work with my Supra Modem. Is the
modem faulty or is it me that has a fuse loose?
Max BerryBath, Avon.

Because Ihe Supra 2400zi is an internal
modem, it communicates with communica-
tions packages like NComm In a slightly
different way. By default, programs like
NComm talk to your modem using the stan-
dard serial port device driver seriaLdevice'
that you'll find in the DEV&: directory of your
boot disk.

To get your 2400zl to talk to NConjm, how-
ever, you need to copy the file
' mod emO. device' from the disk bundled with
your modem td the Devs: directory of your
boot disk. Once you've done this, you need to
tell NComm that it should start using
modemO. device instead of the standard
device driver. To do this, boot up NCofttm and
tben click on the Select Device' option from

the pull-down tnenus. A simple string gadget
containing the line 'serial.devlce' ahould pop
up onto the screen. Change this to
modemO.device and then save your NComm
preferences back to disk. NConim should now
work perfectly well with your modem.

SOUfiD CONVERT

Hawing been a PC user for more
years than i dare to mention,
JVe linaily taken the plunge and
taken the big leap from MS DOS
to the Amiga 4000/030.
Although quite a few of my
friends have gone in the oppo-
site direction (who wants lo run Lotus anyway I J, I
was attracted to the Amiga by its obvious talents
for video work (I intend buying myself a genlock as
soon as I can raise the cash!), graphics (isn't
DPaint 4 AGA great!) and music.

With this in mind. I'd like to ask you a couple of
questions,

1 , All the sourwl samplers that I've seen torttie
Amiga so far seem to be 8-bii| only whJch is rather
limiting. Are there any ^G-til samplers available for
the Amiga and if so, do any MIDI siequencers sup-
port 16-bit samples?

2. Although the Amiga's sound quality is cer-
tainly a lot better than the PC's rather r>atf built in
sound capabilities, is there anything^ like the AD-
Lib or SoundBlaster cards available lor the Amiga?

3. 1 want to be able to tie my IVIIDI tracks in with
graphics and animations that I've created in
DPaint Can you recommend a package that will
be able to handle this''
Daniel Booth, Swansea.

1. There are a couple of 16-bit samplers avail-
able for the Amiga but they tend to be either
very expensive or just plain naff. If you need a
sampler that offers all the thrills of PC programs
like '3ADiE',then check out SunRize Industries
AD1 016 sampler - It offers full 1 &-bit resolution
and can sample in stereo direct to a hard disk.

If your budget is somewhat leaner, however,
then the only other option is MicroDaal's Clarity
16, a amall eKtemal box that conr^ects to the
Amiga via the machine's parallel part. Selling for
just £150. Clarity offers 16-bit resolution too, but
the sound quality sometimes leaves a lot to be
desired, Rumour has it that Power Computing
are soon to release a 1 6-bit sampler themselves
which - to quote Power's Mark Arnold - will
blow your socks off'. Rest assured final as soon
as it is reieased, we'll be reviewing It!

2. Because the Amiga's sound capabilities are
so good when compared to other machines,
Amiga hardware manufacturers have been slow
to produce sound cards along the same lines as
Adiib for the Amiga. The only one that i know of
Is Blue Ribbon s One Stop Music Shop' which
Is essentially an Emu Systems Proteus 2' mod-
ule on a card. It won't work with all sequencers
however - to date, the card can only be used
with Blue Ribbon's own fiars 3 Pipes
Professional 2, but I'm sure other music soft-
ware vendors will be quick to catch on.3,

3. Virtually all sequencers use their own file for-
mats for storing performance data, but if you
convert your scores to MFF fonnat, you can tie
them in with graphics and animations using a
program called ShowMaker' from Gold Disk
(they of ProPage fame).

All Comms users need to

know about archiving

otherwise It will cost them

a lot of time and money.

John Armitage explains.

Archiving is an almost magical thing, ft
sounds impossible; how can intormafion
be squeezed down so it takes tip less
space? How, for example, can a testtfile be com'

pressed and then expanded agam without losing a
single letter? Or how can a photographic-quality
picture be crunched to a tenth of its original size,
without any noticeable equality loss?

lOSCUSS COMPfUSSION

Computer programs are fragile things; change a
single bit in a million and the compuler can crash
instantly. Therefore , when compressing pfograms,
text arKi important data, it is essential that none ot
the information is 'lost. Run tenglh encoding is one
of few oompressioin techniques which ensures that
none of Ihe irtlormalion goes astray. It is one of the
simplest compression techniq;Ues and is used in
standard Amiga ILBM (picture) IFF fUes-

In the ease of a purely 'Waclt low resolution
bitmap which consists of 256 (or 2C0 NTSC) lines
ol zeros, run length enocdirtg checks to see if there
are several occurrences ol the same value and
rather than write 2&6 by 320 zeros to lile and stor-
ing each byte in turn, the software counts how
many zeros occur on Ihe line, In this case 320, as
there are 320 pijtels across a low-resolution screen.
The first two numbers in Ihe ouqsut tile would there-
lore consist of arkd 32€, which means that there
are 320 occurrences of 0.

Decoding the data is easy, simply create a loop
and repeat the first numtier until the counter
reaches the second number, Every Amiga an pro-
gram pertonns ihis compression and decom-
pression automattcally ewery time you save or load
a picture.

It your art program can switdh of! the compres-
sion (such as PwMatel.try savinig the same image
with and wittout the compression program to see
the differences in its size.

Speaaliy-wfitten Hjompression programs, such
its AfiC. LHARC. ZOO and so on, do make use of
run length compression, but they use ottier meanfe
as weli. A technique known as Huffman encoding
compresses data by constructing a special taWe le

rithms, such as L2H, are even better at crunching.
data, Best results are always obtained when com-
pressing data which has yet to be comprsssed. So,
you Should save the image in uncompressed fw-
mat, first, to keep the quality

lASSY COMPRESSION

Sometimes, It isn't always necessary to store every

possible bit in a data file, Some compression pro-
grams will throw away the bits ihatthey consider

COMPRESSION

are not essential to ihe file - hence the term lossy
compression. For e>iample, a hi-res 24bit picture in
uncompressed tomn will take 960K ot infomaation
{almost a megabyte). Surely, we could lose a bit
here or there without the image beooming gar-
bage? The difficult part is choosing which bits we
can do without, JPEG (Joint Photogra^*ic Experts
Group) is one ot the lossy compression programs
which seem to wor+t; extremely well,

JPEG works by splitting the image into many
squares and Ihen performing a DCT {Discrele-
eosine Transform) on ttie data This highly mathe
matlcal process will: alter the data from being only
oolouf-based 10 become frequency-based. The
compression method will then discard the frequen-
cies which it recldons we won't miss, and then does
sofT>e standard crunching.

lbs range of frequencies which are thrown
away determirtes how miich damage is done to the
original image, but in most cases you can obtain at
least a tO;i compression with virtually no ill effects
to the image.

JPEG works best with very detailed images, and
applying it to a simple bitmap - say a copy of the
Workbench screen - can result in the file size actti-
ally going up, JPEG is ideal for sending pictures via
modem- However, because it discards information
it is not the best method fof archiving images and
saving a file in JPEG format more than once can
introduce a rather unpleasant noise.

You may have heard a lot aixsut MPEG which is
to JPEG what Amiga Anim Files are to ILBMs, When
a sequence of images. si>ch as digitjsed Ir,^ video, is
stored in MPEG format, the compression aigorithm
uses its 1<,nowledge of what data has been displayed
in Ihe past and what data is to be displayed in the
future for quite dramatic space saving of 50:1 .

This method is ideally suited to storing films on
CD-ROM, and has been adopted by Commodore in
the hot new GD32 as a soon-to-be-released-honesi
add-on cartridge.

AinOMATIC COMPIIE5SION

Belore you can use a compressed lile, you need tc
run il through a decompression program., Mostded-
icaled programs, such as LHARC, provide both
compression and decompression routines - you
select which by including extra options on the
Command Line Interlace, Several Amitga programs
exist which can automate this process for you.
PowerP&cker is one of the best and: we even gave
it away with the May 1 992 issue of CU AMIGA. A
program which has l?een PowefPacked will look
like any other except tliat it will be a lot smaller.
When you clid< on it to run it, the compression will
take place automatically and (he pfogram will mn.

PowerPack^fls, a great program to have arootid
ill you are stiill usir>g floppies or if your hard disk is
getting a 'bit cramped lor space- Extensions are
availatjle which willi make other programs save and
load in PowerPacked fomtat. So, for example, your
paint program could save and load crunched files
auiflmatically. Using a program tike PowerPacker a
lot is akin to using a Disk Sfacikef-type program
which PC owners get by iwiih, It you have bought
any serious soHware recently, you'll have met the
Commodore /nsjater program whk;h is a bnilianl
way to standardise any juggling about wiih floppies
when installing new software onto your hard disk.
Most programs get tefa/terto make use of a com-
pression program in order to squeeze the
programs data onto as lew floppies as possible, so
you have probably used a compression program
without even knowing it,

HARDWARi eOMPRCSSIOli

If you see & modem which has MMP5 written on rl

youVe lound- some hardware compression algo-
rilhrris. This modem will accept data in chunks, and
then, wansmiis a single key byte instead - rather
Hke mn length compression. This works best wiih
raw, uncompressed data, so if you are sending lexl
files via an WNP5 modem you will probably be bet-
ter off not to cnjnch it first. MNP5 seems to be
optimised to work with source oode and text tiles
raiher than image data. IHowewer, there is talk ot
cmnching techniques being added to newer ver-
sions of Woiikbench, in order to speed up floppy
disks arxJ provide more space.

So hopefully now you know all there is to know
about archiving, so get compressing!! (^

POINTS OF VIEW

MIGA WORKSHOP

Got something you want to get off your chest? Then this is the place to do it in
because these are the liveliest letters pages around- This month's letters are
answered liy none other than *our man covered in paper cuts' John Mather.

auEsnoNs, auEsnoNS...

The release of the CD 32 throws up a nijmt>&r Of
interesting questions and problems-

The firsi area of cortcern affects ^our magazine
because your readers will be split into two fac-
tions: those wtio work off humble floppies and
Ihose wtio use CDs, What are you going to do
atwut cover dislts? II you alienate one faction you
may well fird that it drifts away. I. conskHer that the
best lime to Switch to cover CDs would be your
January issue (you know, the new year, fresh start
and all ttiatcrap). The reasoning behind this is
that Chrisimas is likely to he the time the new
machine takes off and there will, no douht, be a
massive number of new us.ers looking for a maga-
zine to read, Also, as the A^20Q upgrade is due to
be launched at around this time, existing readers
wilt soon be upgrading their machines,
The secortd area of concern affects
CommodfOre. Alttiough, their new baljy is amazing
and many people are already drooling over it,
Commodore nnust decide how they are going to
promote it. I feel it would be wise to sell the CD32
not as a console or as a potential computer, but
as a family multi -media playe-r i.e. highlight the
fact that it is not just for the younger memlsers, To
do this. Commodore should emphasise that it is
also an ordinary CD player. At E300, it is not much
more ejcpensive than commercial CD players and
Itierefore there could be a big market here. The
machine also has FMV capabilities, so you could
soon be watching your favouhte movies on CD or,
at the very least, your favourite pop videos.

Anottier important point to note is the cost of
software. Console games are ludicrously expen-
sive, so if publishers can keep AmigaCD costs
below £30 they'll stand a very good chance of
success. Commodore must exploit the tact that
Amiga software is substantially cheaper and of a
much higher quality.

What we have here is a machine which can
kick the opposition where it hurts and has the
potential to do so for at least another two years,
Stmon Markey, Co. Down.

I don't think Y*e'll be issuing a CO disk in
the near future, certainly not with our January
'94 issue. It'll probably be a sc»d 12 mianttis
before the market's matured enough for that.
But then, watch out, as we'll be able to include
ail sorts of stuff, ranging from pop videos,
movie previews, game demos, and who knows
what else. Does anyone have any ideas about
what they'd like to see? Let us know please,
becauae next rnonth's letters column is a spe-
dal CD32 forum.

issue), a screen shot clearly shows Nick's
Workbench screen displaying the 'Intel Inside'
logo. It's well known that Intel manulacture a
range ol processors for PCs. not Amigas, so why
did he have friis on his screen? Secondly, and tfiis
is the cSincfier, on page 1 1 1 of the same i^ue,
Nick can actually be seen wearing a Mega CD T-
shirt. This was ob^/iousty a 'clever sut}iiminal
message from Nick, intended to subvert our
thoughts. Fire the man immediately,
Nathan White, Walsall.

Firstly, the featured logo was actually an
Intel Outside' badge. Bit of a joke, really. And
as tor Nick wearing a Mega CD t-shirt - even
he isn't that sad! It was, In fact, an Incredibly
trendy and highly desirable CDTV (-shirtl As
for sacking him, we wish we could, but the
atubbly-faced one has since departed these
hallowed pages for pastures new. ffe left the t-
■hirt, though - funny that.

HOW ours DAN? MRT 31

I am writing in answer to your question about the
9ge of Dan Slingsby and from the photograph in
your magazine I'd guess maylM 32. 1 have heard
stories of pensioners offering him, their seat on the

Firstly, tell the person (or victim if you prefer)
that you can guess, without looking of course, how

f have 3 major complaint about one of your writ-

Amiga owners away from their favourite machine^

Havir>g gotten (his number, tell them to add 1993
(or whateve r the present year is when you do the
trick) but call the year out as written (one tliousand
nine hundred and ninety-three) so that they won't
guess what you're up to. When they have their
total, tell mem to subiract the year they were born
and the final figure they're left with is the number of
keys they have and the last two figures are how odd
they'll be that year,
e.g. € k0ys x5 = 30

I'd like to point out that this method was F>ot

Peter Buller, Dublin.

When we tried this one out on Dan, he got all

WHICH

1 am in a dilemma about which machine I shoukj

buy, 1 realise (fiat the future lies with 32-bit mach-
ines, BO I've already ruled out the A600. This leaves
the current AGA machines: the AlSOO, A4p00, and
now, the CD32. 1 want a macliine thai I can use for
ail and music packages, do a spot of programming
with and play games on, TfiiS fules out the CD32 or
at least until the keytMard and floppy drive add-pns
arrive, so with my current budget I'm probably look-
ing at an A1 200 with a hard dnve.

However, I've now heard rumours of an A1 400
wtiich is to be released in ihe near future, and of a
whole new generation of Amigas using RISC-based
chips that are under developnfvent. Should I buy an
Al £00 OF wait for Ihe rumoured A1 400 or forget
about the curent range and hold out for a bi^nd
new RISC-based machine? Of Should I just throw
in the towel and buy a PC instead?

Tectinology moves along at an incredible pace,
maytie it moves toe fast, so where do you draw the
line and &ay, right, I will buy this particular mach-
ine?! You have to take a hell ot a gamble with your
money when you buy a machine nowadays, it's not
just one firni against anofrier, but also against itself.
I know that computer finns have Id try and stay one
step ahead of their competitors, but maybe they
should help the puWic by providing a seRfioe,
instead of ttie get-rich-quiCk-and-lei's-nol-give-a-
damn-aboui-the-oonsumers attitude that seems to
pre vail at times.

So please give me an answer to which li should
buy, or if you don't want to answer that, which
machine would you buy?!

POINTS OF VIIW

TM FAR «IDI

By GARY LARSON

I*

"Hay, e'mcMi novrl
ww« MADE for

It's certalniy a difficult d^Ssion, I know a lot
of people who were stung when they bought the
A600, Jusi months before the launch of the
A 1200. Ilo-or« wants to spend £300-400 on a
home computer only to find 11 superseded
alfTiOst straight away. To an extent, that's the
risk you'll have to take, though, as we can't
guarantee when new models will appear. Yes,
there are rumours about an A1400, and RISC-
based machines will definitely iM with us in the
nexl couple of y«ars, but you've got to ash your-
self what you want your Amiga for. If it's just for
playing games on, word processing or simJEar
paatimeSi then you really don't need an expen-
$.\v^ new model and you're best bet is to go far
a secondhand Amiga at a giveaway price.
Obviously, if you're Interested in 3D graph tcs,
sampling, professional video or other more
memory- Intensive pursuits, then go for one of
the boxed Amigas with better expansion capa-
bilities, it's difficult to access your needs from
what you've toM us, but don't worry, as nem
month well be taking you through the minefield
of buynng yourself a new Amiga, plus taking a
look at the different sel-ups that Amiga enthusi-
asts use.

CD32AIIS

I hope Commodore have a decent advertising
campaign lined up to promote the CD32. Their
previous efforts haven't been particularly marvel-
ious, have they?! Someone said in CU AMIGA
recently that the Amiga succeeded despite
Commodore's advertising, not because of 11, and I
think that's true. An advert can be an hour long
and givg' a list of technifcal specifications as long
as your arm, txjt it wont mean a thing to your
average man^'woman on the street.

if Commodore want an advert that'll make the
C03£ sell, tfrey shouldn't just say what the
machine is capable of, thejf should show it doing it!
They should pick the best CD32 games currently
available [At ihe time ot writing, thst's precisely
fouf - Diggers and Oscsf *hich come with the
machine. Jafr!0s Pond 2 and Pmbatt fantasies,
i-lafdly itSte-oNhe-art, I'm afraid^- Ed\ and show
th&m goi'ng through the-ir paces. They should also
make it clear that Itue machine can play standard
music CDs - a big selling point, as owners will be
able to play their games and CDs off the same

macfiin«. If possible, the CDas should also be
shown playir>g: a snippet from a bioeltbuster movie
to emphasise that (he CD32 rs MPEG compaittbie
and can be lurned^ into a home cinema. And this
business about not extoHirtg its expandability into a
real fiome computer is a bi! silly - it's another setlirtg-
point and one that could oonvirKB a lot of pare-nts to

Clifford Hay ward, Weymouth.

Commodore recentfy invited us to their HQ to
unveil the Christmas ad campaign and, having

se«n the stofyboard for the TV adi I do hold out
some hope for a successfLii conclusion to this
year's saJes drive. In temis of printed ads they'll
be very aggressive witii much of the copy talcing
a dfrect dig at Sega. To do ttiat, Ifiough, they'll
need to be able to back uptheirciaimst

Ae for promoting the console as a computer
you'll have to wait till the post-Christmas period.
Until therj tfie public lace of the CD32 is firmly
gBmes-led. Personally, I Ihinti that theyVe got It
right on Ibat score 'cos no matter how much
you know about the machine there are thou-
sands of people out there that know consider-
ably less. To advertise the CD32 as both a com-
puter and a console will only confute those
people new to the Amiga. Commodore need to
expand the Amiga user base and not just sell
the CD32 to current Amiga owners. I firmty
beJieve that they'll do that with this campaign.

GEItltiG

Tliree years ago I bought my first Amiga, ti was a good machine apart from one thing: disk swopping. I

hate disk swopping, so I bought an external drive and found, to my disappointment, that nol one single
game I had bought recognised an external disk drive, i considered buying a hard drive, but they were
too expensive at the flme and games were rarely installabte in any case.

Atx3ut eighteen months ago I started using a PC at work, and I found that games came on four or
frve high-densi^ disks, but that they were all installable. I decided to save up for a PC, knowing only too
well that there were hardly any Amiga games thai were hard disk installabfe. I managed to biiy a PC
exactly one year ago and have been generally very pteased with it, and have a hard drive that's bulging
at tiie seams with games.

The point I'm trying to make is this: I believe the Amiga is a better games machine than a PC,
Graphically, they are now on a par, but technicaKy the Amiga is alTiead, especially with the introductfon
of the A1200. it is a great -machine, but companies are still refusing to make their games hard disk
irstallable. There are supposedly 30,000 A1200 owners who have purchased hard-drives, and I bet a
tot of them are cheesed off that friere are few installable games on the market.

I twught an A 1200 with a hard drive in Fet>ruary. The reason'! bought one is because I program
lU^ing AMOS Professional, wtiich is hard disk InstaNable. I have two games on my hard-drive:
Hisiorylin0 and Dariiseed. Both are impraciical to play from floppy drives because of disk swopping, but
with a hard drive they're so much less hassle.

i have read in your sister magazine, Th0 One, that Virgin's new game, Beneath the Steel Sky, will
only be playable from floppies because there are not enough hard-drive owners to make it worthwhile
being installable. Also, the game's designers are cutting out some of tiie animations. I quote from an
interview wilh ihe game's designers: 'If atl Amiga ownera had a hard-drive then they would get the
wod<s hut, sadly. Ihey won'I. Irs a shame we cant compromise for the hand dnve owners.'

Well, the thing is. they shoukj compromise. What's the poini in us buying this game when the game'
desigrier has stated that we'ti be getting a cut-down version? People with hard drives will be buying a
game which is not instalfable, thus defeating the purpose of owning a hard drive in the first place.

I am fortunate in that I have a PC arid an Amiga. However, there is a PC version of AMOS being
developed and when it appears I'll be saying 'good-bye' to the Amiga unless software companies radi-
cally change their attitudes.

Software houses use piracy as the be-ail and end-ati for almost any argurryent when it comes to the
Amiga. They harp on about copy-protection on disks as their only solulion to software piracy. Why dont
;tbey wake up? Go to any school playground and you'll see that disk protection doesn't matter. There is
»^r>etwork of suppliers who can get any pirated game. If i wanted a game, I could go to a nearby market
and buy it along with a photocopfed manual (or about three pounds. 1 don't, because I can afford to buy
originals, but it won't stop a k«d from doing so. One buys the pirate version and then all of his other
friends get a copy lor free.

For me, disk protection has never been a bug-bear. The type of protection i hate is rrranual related.
Microprose, for example, have the right idea. They produce a huge manual and potential pirates have
to copy every page if they want to be able to play the game. It's a pain to open the manual every time I
want to pfay a game, but at least it's a reasonable way to beat piracy. I don't suppose too many kids
have the ability to copy two hundred pages of text. This, of course, is not practical in a shoot 'em up
when the only instructions needed are how lo press the joystick button. One of the best forms of protec-
tion I have encountered as regards copying from the hard drive is with the PC version of Ttie Secret of
Monitey Island The game is instaJled to hanj drive as only one file which is 9Mb long. For ftKtst people
OOpying 3Mb to one disk is an impossibiJity.

What this letter comes down to, is a plea lor sense from software companies. Unless a game is
hard-drive instaliatiie. I will refuse to buy games for the Amiga. I just wonder how many more Amiga
owners will also move onio (he PC before software tiouses change their views.

IGA WORKSHOP

iOOKIUS

While everyone else sits around wondering
what games are going to be liice in the
future, Tony Dillon ponders the possibility of
a future without games.

At the recent ECTS, I sat in on a very inter-
esting conference with US developer
Chris Crawford of Chris Crawford games,
where he debated the possibiLity of a future were
compuler games reaSly become kid's sVuff and will
be consigned to only a uery small part of oorn-
puter ent^nainment.

His lirie of thinking went something (ike this:
Comics are fun and intense, bul are an incredibly
small part d Hterature. Sweets are fun and
intense, but are an incredibly small part of the
whole food eulttire. Computer games as we know
Itiem are fun and intense, but logically must be
an incredibly small part of computer enlertain-
meni as a wtiole-

He went on witli this comparison for quite a
while, and claime>d that computers will move
away from fun and into something more subtle
and satisfying,

But what exactly is this more subtle and satis-
fying larger martlet we're supposed to be
expanding into? It's tfie world of computer enter-
tainment, ol course! We hear all ttie time ot the
latest han:iware advances, and of newer, better
arKl faster programming techniques. Who would
ever have thought that something like Legends
Of Valour or Fronrjef would have been possible a
couple of years ago?

What most people seem to be skipping around
at the moment is actual game design itself. This
is crucial because it's the changes in design that

The hilure t>l honvi entertalfimantT Thl» k) huw f ou nrigm tn>
ptaylmo StrMrtllghter ^

are going to matte the stiift from peanuts to
sprouts, if you catch my drift.

MORI OF IHE SAME

At the moment, game design is stuck in a loop.
We keep seeing the same games coming out
over and over again, as software houses and
development teams continyalty repeat and
improve the tried and tested , creating guaran-
teed sellers but never actually moving the game
market forward. Take Lure Or The Temptress, ii
is rated as one of the most original graphic
adventures aro'und, yet is really nothing more
than Msr^iac MafisionmVh a better game design.

The desire to impress visually and sonically,
matched with the drive to provide entertainment
through fun is what is causing game designers to
double badt on to ttiernselves lime and time
again.

Interestingly enough, the two games IVe men-
tioned already are perfect examples ot how game
design is changing.

You probably won't tiave pfayed Fronf^ef yet,
so look at Legends Of Vatour What sets it apart
from most graphic adventures, other than the
graphics? Give up? The freedom. Yes, Ihere are
a certain number of sel quests to be done, but
because you hawe complete and total freedom to
do anything you like, even starting a quest brings
a certain sense of fulfilment.

In turn, completing a quest brings even
greater joy, but why exactly is thai? Why does the
simple task ot finding a cup arkd bringing it back

to a certain location make you feel like you've

really accomplished something?

The answer lies in the amount ot effort you've
had to expel to actually do the C|uest. You've had
to search the huge city looking for the person
who actually gives you your mission, and then
you've had to locate the object with only minimal
instruction, and then find the original location.
You could have gone anywhere. There were a
million wrflhg turnings to take, but you got the
right one, and got the job done. In a standard
adventure, you know that two screens across
there's a lantern, and two screens down is a dartt
cave. That's not satisfying because that isn't lite,
That'll just logic. In Legends Ot Vatour you have
actually spent some time of your life njnning
around Mittledort, not moving a couple of pixels
around on a sj;reen. Frofttieris more otthe same,
only you have a far larger and more varied locale
to live in.

What about Frontier^ How can you possibly
have a game that doesn't have an ending? A
game that doesn'l have any predesigned tasks or
objectives? Quite easily, and very successJully if
our 97% mark is anything to go by.

Again, the secret l«es in the freedom of the
game- All space games offer you the chance to
ride the galactic waves and live life as a space
pirate, but Frontierls the only game that actually
fotlows through.

There's not much fun to selectinfli a planet,
and then travelling to it, but for some reason irs
tar more enjoyable than blasting the Laa'args
Irom Quaa'arg.

If you still don't get it. try this for sire. When
you were running between buildings desperately
searching for the lost treasure,'High Priest/what-
ever in LOV, were you having fun? Be honest
with yO'Urseif, did you really enjoy spending all
those hours running round in circles? Probably
not, unless you're the kind ot person who derives
pleasure from running through alleys for long
periods of time!

But did you enjoy yourself? You bet you did,
because yOu were working towards a goat in a far
more involved way than usual. That's where the
magic iSn and as far as 1 can see that's where the
future of game design lies.

Of course, they won't be 'tun' as you and I
class 'fun', and everyone knows that a computer
program that isn't fun obviously isn't a game.
That's what I mean by a future without games.

EtmilfAINMEim NOT FUN

There have twen plenty o^f games that have sur-
faced that fit the bill of this new age of design, but
many have tailed or just been rejected by the
masseS-

I remember the Max Hesdroom license - a
sprawling and engaging battle of wits through a
horrifically maze-like towerblock. There was lots
to be done, it you could hack it, but it was univer-
sally panned due to its inherent lack of tun.

Although ifs quite possible that you could
derive far more enjoyment and entertainment
Irom a game (ike this over something like Zool,
software companies are slow to pick up on this
kind of product due to the risk factor.

It may be brilliant,, but that doesn't mean it will
sell. A shame really, when you consider that flight
simulators have provided years ol entertainment
without being zany or zappy.

So why can't we have the same in other
games. A combat game that wortus properly, for
example.

It someone kicks you hard across the knees,
then your kict<s lose their strength, or you could
lose your ability to walk!

To my mind, that gives you a far more reward-
ing challenge than Streettigbter. ^
